The first signals the general intent and the second acts on an action to change the state. {% endhint %} ### What do I need to vote? To be able to vote you need to have only BLDT tokens and be registered in the governance system. ### What is the role of voting? Users can vote for or against individual proposals once they have delegated voting rights in their address. Votes can be cast while a proposal is in the "Active" status. ### Delegation BLDT holders cannot vote or create proposals until they delegate their voting rights to an address. Delegation can be given to one address at a time, including the holder's own address. Please note that delegation locks tokens until you wish to withdraw them, where an unlock period will apply. The fact that it can only be delegated to one address at a time solves the problem that users can vote multiple times with the same tokens using different wallets. Only users who have signed up for an account are allowed to post before they can share, discuss, or support posts. ### Voting Period Once a proposal has been submitted, BlueLotusDAO community members will have a period of 3 days (the Voting Period) to cast their votes. ### Can I move my BLDT while the vote is in progress? Tokens once locked for delegation, cannot be moved until you select the withdrawal option. ### How many times can I make a proposal? Each node has its own number of proposals to be able to make and said number is monthly. Root Node can only vote but cannot create proposals. Seed Node can vote and create proposals with a maximum of 2. Haulm Node can vote and create proposals with a maximum of 4. Committee Node can vote and create proposals with a maximum of 5. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://genesyblockchain.gitbook.io/genesys-blockchain/bluelotusdao-governance/governance/voting.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
