# 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**](/cgdao/governance-process/voting/voting-process.md) for more information.

## Snapshot Voting

* [ ] <mark style="color:purple;">**Visit the official CGDAO**</mark> [**Snapshot** ](https://snapshot.org/#/cgdao.eth)<mark style="color:purple;">**space.**</mark>

Indicated by the green**</mark>**&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;background-color:green;"><mark style="color:green;">**Active**<mark style="color:green;"></mark>**&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**status on the top right of any proposal.**</mark>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/F5ZxsXqRQXomnohT6LOV" alt=""><figcaption><p>A grey "Pending" status indicates a proposal will become active at a later time.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

* [ ] <mark style="color:purple;">**You will find your voting options at the bottom of the proposal. Depending on the voting strategy make your selection(s) and press the vote button below the voting options.**</mark>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/Y1DLqxQMoYXFMzSUDmen" alt=""><figcaption><p>Voting options and selection may depend on the voting type (strategy). </p></figcaption></figure></div>

* [ ] <mark style="color:purple;">**Voting results may take up to a couple minutes to reflect your VP within the total.**</mark>

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/huZs8J3jUG35eFzUCUNR" alt=""><figcaption><p>No voting after Voting period has ended.</p></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src="/files/Mm1FGPkqoH5mAZVRKj7G" alt=""><figcaption><p>Hover over users Vote Power to see their VP breakdown.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

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;

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

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.chainguardians.io/cgdao/education/snapshot-voting-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
