# Governance Voting Guide

After going through the Discussion, Draft, and Proposal phases a proposal is eligible to be voted on. Currently creating a proposal will take place on the official CGDAO [**Governance Portal**](https://dao.chainguardians.io). Refer to the [**Voting Process**](/cgdao/governance-process/voting/voting-process.md) for extra information.

You have now completed the voting process. After a voting period of **4 days for low impact** and **7 days for high impact** has elapsed, the proposal will pass or fail. Final results can always be viewed on the proposals' page.&#x20;

If the main site is down, then the official [**Snapshot** ](https://snapshot.org/#/cgdao.eth)space can be used as an alternative voting source. See [**Snapshot Voting Guide**](/cgdao/education/snapshot-voting-guide.md) for more information.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Reminder:**</mark> You need **1000 VP** (Voting Power) to vote. This may consist of CGG balance on any network + CG NFTs (Guardians) + internally staked CGG.
