# Voting and Proposals

## Voting Overview

Voting will take place through off-chain polls created through Snapshot. No gas fee required. The CGDAO [**Governance Portal**](https://dao.chainguardians.io/) will be the main hub for voting.

Voting power is calculated from the $CGG held in your wallet + internally staked + CG NFTS (Guardians). The current minimum requirement to vote is a cumulative sum of 1000 Voting Power. Learn more below.

## Proposal Overview

A proposal will only be eligible to be put up for a vote by passing through phases of forum [**discussion**](https://forum.chainguardians.io).

Once a proposal is ready to be voted on, any one who meets the $CGG requirements can create the Snapshot poll.

Proposals will be considered either low or high impact types. Learn more below.
