# Voting in the OCM DAO

{% hint style="success" %}
**IMPORTANT**

\[January 2024]  With the current OCM upgrade from Ethereum to Bitcoin, [Snapshot.org](https://snapshot.org/#/ocm.eth) is no longer able to be used as a platform to conduct voting. The voting system on [Snapshot.org](https://snapshot.org/#/ocm.eth) was a token-based weighted voting system where (1) token (OCM Genesis or OCM Katoshi) = (1) vote. An additional (1) bonus vote was awarded for each 'pair’ of tokens, where 1 OCM Genesis + 1 OCM Katoshi = (1) bonus vote.

In the interim, we have developed an internal manual voting system to facilitate the token-based weighted voting for approving proposals. As we are using Discord to facilitate the vote, to ensure the privacy of data of our members we will not share personal Discord information connected to the number of votes.

We will share a link the tallied weighted voting results so people can see the amount of votes and a breakdown of the voting data. Discord usernames and ID’s of individual voters will be redacted for data privacy protections as mentioned above.
{% endhint %}

Any holder of an OCM Genesis or OCM Katoshi NFT can vote for proposals and community surveys.&#x20;

To participate in OCM DAO voting, you must [verify your OCM asset ownership](/wiki/navigating-ocm-website-and-discord/connect-your-accounts-to-ocm.md#verify-your-ocm-assets) by connecting your Discord account **and** ETH wallet(s) and/or BTC wallet(s) holding your OCM Genesis and/or OCM Katoshi NFTs to the OCM website. Ensure that the holder roles assigned to your Discord username reflects the total number of ETH Genesis or ETH Katoshi assets, or total number of BTC Genesis or BTC Katoshi assets you own.

As of January 2024, voting is conducted in Discord channel **`#`**:ballot\_box:**`dao-polling`** using MEE6. \
[Prop.House](#inactive-voting-on-ocm-prop-house) and [Snapshot.org](#inactive-voting-on-ocm-proposals-on-snapshot.org) voting platforms will **not** be used until further notice.

Current voting types are:

1. [Community Survey](#voting-on-community-surveys), also known as community sentiment or temperature check
2. [Full Proposal](#voting-on-full-proposals)

## Voting on Community Surveys

A survey-style poll to gauge the sentiment or temperatur check of the community on issues that would benefit from further exploration or a timely resolution. Votes and results from Community Surveys are non-binding and are used to gather information only.

* Survey Voting Duration: maximum 5 days
* Voting System:&#x20;
  * 1 holder = 1 vote

## Voting on Full Proposals

A Full Proposal that has undergone community review and is now available for official community approval or rejection.

* Proposal Voting Duration: 7 days
* Voting System: token-based weighted voting
  * (1) OCM Genesis NFT = (1) vote&#x20;
  * (1) OCM Katoshi NFT = (1) vote&#x20;
  * An additional (1) bonus vote is given for each pair of tokens (1 Genesis + 1 Katoshi).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
For example, if Bob owns 3 OCM Genesis and 2 OCM Katoshi, and he cast a vote of Yes in `#`:ballot\_box:`dao-polling` on a Full Proposal, then the total number of votes he cast would be 7 'Yes' votes on the Full Proposal.&#x20;

That is ...\
&#x20;     3 votes, one for each OCM Genesis\
&#x20;     \+ 2 votes, one for each OCM Katoshi\
&#x20;     \+ 2 bonus votes, one for each 'Genesis + Katoshi' token pair
