Create a proposal

Learn what a proposal is and how to create one.

What is a proposal?

Proposal is the key element of the voting system. It presents a change suggestion related to a specific organization and enables eligible users to cast their vote.

A specific voting system (single choice, weighted, quadratic, and others) can be selected individually for each proposal.

Voting power for each user is calculated on the basis of the voting strategies selected in the space settings.

Who can create a proposal?

Space controller, admins, authors, and users who are eligible according to the proposal validation strategies defined in the space settings.
