# Voting

> Step-by-step guide to casting a vote on a Dynamo governance proposal, including voting power calculation, delegation, and how to vote via Snapshot.

This guide covers how to cast a vote on a [Dynamo governance](https://dynamo.finance/) proposal, whether via the Dynamo UI or directly on Snapshot.

## Prerequisites

* A wallet holding DYNAMO tokens, or delegated voting power from another holder
* Tokens must be in your wallet at the **snapshot block** (the block when the proposal's voting power is recorded)

## How Voting Power Is Calculated

Voting power on any active proposal is determined at the **snapshot block**, a specific Ethereum block captured when the proposal is created.

`Voting Power = DYNAMO balance at snapshot block + delegated DYNAMO at snapshot block`

<Warning>
  Tokens acquired **after** the snapshot block do not count toward that proposal. Always hold tokens before a proposal goes live if you want to vote.
</Warning>

## How to Vote via Snapshot

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Snapshot">
    Visit snapshot.org/#/dynamofinance.eth to see all active and past Dynamo proposals.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Your Wallet">
    Click **Connect wallet** in the top right and connect the wallet that holds DYNAMO tokens (or has delegated voting power).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a Proposal">
    Browse active proposals and click on the one you want to vote on. Read the proposal details and discussion links carefully before voting.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cast Your Vote">
    Select your choice (For / Against / Abstain) and click **Vote**. Sign the message with your wallet. Snapshot votes are gasless, no ETH is required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Your vote is recorded. You can change your vote at any time before the voting period closes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Delegation

If you don't want to vote directly, you can delegate your voting power to another address, including the [Dynamo DAO](https://dynamo.finance/) itself (for Morpho governance) or a trusted community delegate.

See Delegation for full instructions.
