Introduction

Moonwell Governance leverages both on-chain and off-chain voting mechanisms. Below is a step by step guide showing how to review and vote upon active proposals from the [Governance Portal](https://gov.moonwell.fi/)(on-chain) and the [Snapshot Portal](https://snapshot.moonwell.fi/) (off-chain).

## 

Prerequisites

In order to participate in voting you will need:

- Web-3 wallet

- ​[Delegated](https://docs.moonwell.fi/moonwell-finance/governance/governance/delegate) WELL tokens

- GLMR for gas (does not apply for Snapshot voting)

- An active proposal to vote on

> Your WELL must be delegated prior to a proposal becoming active in order for your votes to count towards the current proposal.

## 

On-Chain Voting

Once a Moonwell Improvement Proposal has made it through the proposal process and has been submitted, it will appear on the Governance Portal. Here you can view all current and former MIPs.

### 

**Step 1 - Connecting to Governance Portal**

- Navigate to [https://gov.moonwell.fi](https://gov.moonwell.fi/)​

- Upon connecting to the Governance Portal, a pop-up modal will ask you to connect your Web3 wallet

- Accept the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer

- Connect wallet

**Step 2 - Review Governance Portal**

After connecting your wallet, you’ll see the main components of the Governance Portal.

- Your voting wallet in the top right

- Links to the [Governance Forums](https://forum.moonwell.fi/), [Snapshot Portal](https://snapshot.moonwell.fi/), and the [Artemis dapp](https://moonwell.fi/artemis/GLMR)​

- Current and former proposals

**Step 3 - Voting**

- If a proposal is currently live for voting, it will say `Active` next to the title. Upon clicking on an active proposal, a pop-up modal will appear showing proposal details.

- To vote on a proposal, simply click on the voting action you want to choose. For the sake of this guide, we’ll be voting `FOR` this proposal.

- After choosing a voting direction, you’ll be presented with a transaction log modal showing your voting direction and prompted to confirm the transaction via wallet.

- Confirm transaction in wallet

- Once your transaction has completed, you’ll see the confirmed state in the transaction logs and proposal modal.

- You’ve successfully voted!

> Note that you can only vote once per proposal. Make it count!
