# Community Proposal Voting Guide

**How to initiate a community proposal?**

1\. Enter the DAO page, select "Community Proposal", and click "Submit Proposal";

2\. Please fill in the "Proposal Title", "Proposal Content", and "Proposal Options" in detail

3\. The user holding 50,000+ “votes” can submit the proposal.

4\. After the proposal is successfully submitted, its content will be displayed on the community proposal page and enter the "director voting" phase.<br>

**How do users participate in the referendums on proposals?**

1\. When the proposal has received approval from no less than 5 directors, it will be published on the "Proposal Referendum" page at 13:00 PM UTC on the same day;

2\. On this page, you can choose the proposal you support. The total number of votes available is: the total number of votes when the block height of the proposal is snapshotted;

3\. The option with the most votes will be the final executable proposal and executed by the MDEX team.<br>

**Tips:**

1\. Calculation method of votes:

The total votes = the MDX balance + the xMDX balance (in the user's wallet at the proposal’s block height snapshot) + the xMDX staking amount by the directors' election voting;

Snapshot time: When a proposal is submitted, a snapshot of the user’s above balances will be taken.

2\. If the proposal does not obtain 5+ directors’ votes within 7 calendar days after submission, it will automatically become invalid.

3\. Users can vote for multiple proposals without staking, as long as they have at least 1 vote.

4\. The referendum for each proposal lasts for 3 calendar days.\
