- Connected wallet: Use MetaMask or another Ethereum-compatible wallet linked to your account.
- Active voting period: The proposal must be open for voting.
- Eligibility: Your citizen account must meet the required criteria (e.g., it should not be under cooldown).
Step 1: Navigate to the proposals section
- Log in to the Governance Tool using MetaMask or your chosen wallet.
- Open the Proposals section to view a list of active proposals.
Step 2: Select a proposal
Scroll through the list and choose a proposal to vote on. Each proposal displays its status and available voting options.

If prompted, confirm the citizen registration request in your wallet.
Step 4: Choose your vote
