# Create a proposal

> Learn what a proposal is and how to create one.

A 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](/proposals/voting-types) (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](/user-guides/voting-strategies).

## Who can create a proposal?

Space [controller](/user-guides/spaces/space-roles),[ admins](/user-guides/spaces/space-roles), [authors](/user-guides/spaces/space-roles), and users who are eligible according to the [proposal validation](/user-guides/validation-strategies) strategies defined in the space settings.

<Warning>
  **Proposal limit**

  Each space has a limit on the number of proposals that can be created daily and monthly. For more details have a look at [#proposals-limitations](#proposals-limitations).
</Warning>

## Create a proposal

1. Head to the space which you wish to create your proposal for.
2. Connect with the wallet provider - make sure the connected wallet is **where you hold the tokens relevant** to the specific space.
3. Click the pencil icon in the top-right corner of the space page to start a new proposal:

4. The proposal editor opens with a two-column layout. On the left, fill in the following fields:\
   \- **Title** (required)\
   \- **Body** (optional, markdown supported - you can switch between markdown and visual editor)\
   \- **Discussion** link (optional)\
   \- **Execution** (if the space has a treasury configured)\
   \
   On the right sidebar, configure:\
   \- **Voting system** (e.g. Basic voting, Single choice, Weighted, etc.)\
   \- **Choices** (pre-filled with For / Against / Abstain for basic voting)\
   \- **Labels** (if the space has labels configured)\
   \- **Timeline:** set the start and end dates for voting. Make sure you allow enough time for users to vote.

5. Click `Publish` in the top-right corner - and that's it! You can see your proposal in the proposals list on the space page.

## **Snapshot block number**

When you create a proposal by default the **snapshot block number** will be populated with the latest block synced from our node.

<Warning>
  The voting power of each user will be calculated for the **state of the blockchain at this specific snapshot**. It means that if the user acquires required tokens **after** the proposal has been created, they will not be taken into account for their voting power calculation.
</Warning>

### Proposals limitations

* Each proposal's description is limited to **10,000 characters**. With the [Snapshot Pro](/user-guides/spaces/pro) plan, the limit increases to **50,000 characters**.
* One address can have a maximum of **10 active proposals at a time**, across multiple spaces.
* Each space has a limit on the number of proposals created daily and monthly:

| Space status                                 | Daily proposal limit | Monthly proposal limit |
| -------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------- |
| [Pro](/user-guides/spaces/pro)               | 100                  | 500                    |
| [Verified](/user-guides/spaces/get-verified) | 10                   | 50                     |
