How to Vote on Realms

Casting Your Vote
After you have reviewed the proposal, casting your vote is as easy as issuing a Solana transaction for "Yes" or "No".

Understanding Vote Power
When you vote your veTokens, all positions will be attributed to your vote choice. Token positions cannot be split within one vote on a single account.
Your vote is calculated at the time your vote is submitted. If your position is in 'decay' mode, voting sooner means you apply greater voting power. Conversely, if a position is extended to added to, a vote can be relinquished and re-voted to apply the new voting power.
