# Snapshot Voting Guide

The official Snapshot space will be used as an alternative to the main CGDAO [**Governance Portal**](https://dao.chainguardians.io) for voting. After going through the Discussion, Draft, and Proposal phases a proposal is eligible to be voted on. Refer to [**Voting Process**](https://docs.chainguardians.io/cgdao/governance-process/voting/voting-process) for more information.
