Your staked or LP-ed tokens only count in voting on a proposal, if the project’s creators enabled it. Please get in touch with them or visit their forum section to find out.
Once you submit your vote, it becomes final. No further changes can be made.
Yes, if you have funds in multiple wallets or addresses, you are allowed to vote with all of them.
Yes, you can vote.
Harmony Network Governance voting is currently available via Harmony Governance App and HMY CLI. As with other projects and networks, the decisions should be made by the community, or in this case, the validators, on what upgrades, incentives or changes we should make for the Harmony network so that it becomes even more attractive to community validators and participants.
As the network and core protocol are complicated and require a deep knowledge of EPoS and some technical/blockchain background, we are only letting validators create and vote on proposals. The network governance model includes proposal, voting, and implementation processes.
First, a proposal has to be submitted by an elected validator. The proposal shall include a summary in the content and a link to a post in the “Governance” section of the forum https://talk.harmony.one so that the community can discuss and debate in the forum post. A proposal will be moved forward when the majority is reached. Otherwise, it is rejected. The majority of the quorum is defined as 51% of the total stake weight.
Since only the validators can propose/vote in the proposal, for token holders who delegate to validators, it is highly encouraged to work with your validators to vote on the proposals. Also, in order to encourage the participation of the voting process, additional token rewards may be distributed to validators who voted in the proposals. The detailed plan will be announced later.
The voting power is equal to the number of staked ONE tokens on your validator regardless you are elected or not.
Only elected validators can create proposals, while unelected validators are still allowed to vote on the proposals, enabling them a voice of their own. The proposal stays pending for the first 7 days after creation, so that all validators have time to get familiar with the topic and the impact of the proposal’s results.
After the initial 7 days, the voting period starts and lasts for 14 days. Once you submit your vote, you cannot change it. The voting power is equal to a validator’s total ONE token staked, and can vary in terms of voting power depending on delegation or undelegation. We have made this choice to passively include delegators in the governance process. If a delegator does not agree with the vote of the validator he/she delegated to, he/she can simply redelegate to another validator, to support it’s vote.
Final snapshot of voting power is taken at the epoch in which the proposal closes, so with epochs passing, you might see your total voting power vary a bit. The staked amount of ONE tokens at that time is your final voting power. For a proposal to successfully pass, the proposal must reach 51% of the total stake weight and 66.7% in favor of the proposal to pass.
HRC20 voting is no longer available.

The Harmony team is releasing the first governance app for the Harmony network. As with other projects and networks, the decisions should be made by the community, or in this case, the validators, on what upgrades, incentives or changes we should make for the Harmony network so that it becomes even more attractive to community validators and participants.
We have ported the widely known snapshot.page, which is an off-chain governance app for the Ethereum ecosystem. It supports simple governance in the form of creating and voting on proposals:
https://snapshot.org/#/harmony-mainnet.eth
To interact with it, you need to connect your Metamask, same as using Metamask on Ethereum. Note that you have to connect with the ONE address which is registered as a validator on the Harmony network and make sure you are on the latest OneWallet version, because older versions might not have support for voting. Once connected, you are able to create a proposal (if you are elected) and vote (no matter you are elected or unelected).
To create a proposal navigate to the governance app, connect your Wallet, then click on New proposal on the top right corner.
You can now start writing a new proposal:
1 - The title of the proposal. 2 - The body of the proposal; e.g. what you want people to vote on and any explanation, facts, examples, etc. The proposal should include the following key sections:
Summary: one short paragraph to describe the proposal
Background: background information of the proposal
Link: link to the detailed proposal and discussion in the forum
Motivation: why this proposal is needed and important
Specification: specific action or changes proposed in the proposal
Vote:
Yes: what does it mean when vote yes
No: what does it mean when vote no
3 - Voting choices; you add choices for voting, minimum is 2, but you can always add more choices with the Add choice button below. 4 - The proposal will stay pending for 7 days, to ensure everyone can get familiar with the topic being voted on 5 - After the 7 days in pending mode are over, the voting on the proposal starts and lasts for 14 days. 6 - Publish once done with all previous steps and confirm with a signed message from your validator address via Metamask. Once you approve, the proposal will be quickly submitted. After that it will show under Pending until the initial 7 day period is over and it gets Active.
To vote for a proposal, simply navigate to the Active tab and click on a proposal you want to vote on. Read what the proposal is about, select your choice and confirm with a signed message from your wallet:
After signing, you will quickly see your vote being added in:
That's it!
While voting please note:
All votes are final, once you approve your vote, you cannot undo or change it.
Voting percentage shown will be compared to the total network stake, so it's easy for anyone to see if a proposal passes the 66.67% threshold or not.
