Creating a New Vote

Creating a new vote in the Palm Collective allows you to engage the community and gather opinions on important matters. Follow this step-by-step guide to create a new vote effectively:

Step 1: Access the Governance Section

  • Start by navigating to your profile and clicking on "Governance" located in the left-side menu. This will take you to the governance hub of the Palm Collective.

Step 2: Initiating the Creation Process

  • In the governance section, find the button that reads "Create New Vote" and click on it. This will start the process of creating your new vote.

Step 3: Fill Out the Vote Details

  • Title: Craft a clear and concise title for your vote that reflects the topic or question being voted on.
  • Description: Provide a detailed description of what the vote is about. Include any background information or context that voters need to know.
  • Options: Define the options that voters can choose from. Each option should be distinct and clearly worded.
  • Duration: Set the duration of the vote by selecting a start date and an end date. You can also specify the time when the vote will start and end.
  • Voting Criteria: Specify who can participate in the vote. You can choose from options such as all users, staked users only, or specific community members.
  • Voting Weight: Determine if all votes will have equal weight or if certain users will have a higher voting weight based on their level or staking amount.
  • Tag: Assign a tag for easy identification of the vote.

Step 4: Review and Publish

  • Review all the details of your vote to ensure accuracy and completeness.
  • Click "Publish" to finalize and make your vote live. Once published, the vote cannot be edited, so double-check everything before proceeding.

Step 5: Promote Your Vote

  • After publishing, promote your vote within the community to encourage participation. Share it on social media, community forums, or other relevant platforms to reach a wider audience.

Your new vote is now live and ready for community participation. Monitor the results as the voting period progresses and use the insights gathered to inform decision-making within the Palm Collective.
