# 6.3 DAO voting.

All key decisions related to the development of Nava DAO are made through voting, which is conducted on a specialized platform. NAVA token holders can participate in the voting. The more tokens a user has, the greater the "weight" of their vote. The method of decision-making in voting is determined by the initiator or administrator who created the vote. This can be either a majority vote or a quorum vote (to protect the DAO from unauthorized votes or votes that are contrary to the interests of the community), NFT ownership, and so on. The multiplicity of the system also allows you to create votes with multiple choices, approval, basic, weighted, quadratic, and ranked voting. Additionally, vote screening can be applied.

*Voting secrecy — keeping voters' choices confidential until voting is complete. Used to prevent manipulation and promote fair and impartial results.*<br>
{% endhint %}

#### Before initiating a vote, the issue is put up for general discussion by the community and goes through several stages:&#x20;

* discussion and raising of the issue in the management board chat,&#x20;
* closed vote on the proposed options in the DAO council chat,
* discussion of voting and options in the community's general chat,
* creation of an open DAO voting system on a specialized platform

#### The decision-making process for proposals initiated by the community follows this sequence:

• Any user can make a proposal (if they have enough tokens).

• The DAO Council and team are reviewing it and discussing it with the community.

• Voting among holders — final decision.

#### Important conditions for putting a proposal to a vote are:

* [x] Adequacy of the proposal. Each proposal must be constructive and in the interests of the community.
* [x] Realistic implementation. Under this item, developers provide their final assessment and feasibility.
* [x] Clarity. Each proposal must be clearly worded. Voting options must also be understandable to the community and must not contain ambiguous wording or vague concepts.

<p align="center"><em>The implementation of the decisions made is carried out by a team of developers, with or without the involvement of third-party specialists. Preliminary implementation deadlines may be set either by the developers themselves or by the DAO management board (after preliminary agreement on the pipeline and approval of the implementation deadlines by the developers).</em> </p>
