# Overview

### What Is VeVote?

**VeVote** is VeChain’s official decentralized governance system. It allows **Validators** and holders of eligible **Stargate NFTs** (both owned or delegated) to vote on proposals that shape the ecosystem’s future.

From protocol upgrades to community initiatives, VeVote ensures decision-making is **transparent**, **fair**, and **decentralised**.

***

### Who Can Vote?

You’re eligible to vote if:

* ✅ You **own** or **manage** one or many Stargate NFT
* ✅ You **endorse** a VeChainThor Validator 
* ✅ Any **combination** of the above

Supported Stargate NFT levels include **MjolnirX**, **ThunderX**, **StrengthX**, **VeThorX**, **Mjolnir**, **Thunder**, **Strength**, **Flash**, **Lightning**, and **Dawn**.

> **Delegation**: Stargate NFT holders can assign their voting rights to another wallet—enabling trusted representatives to participate in governance. See [here](https://docs.stargate.vechain.org/overview/nft-management) for more info.

> VeChain Node holders must migrate their legacy nodes to the Stargate NFT contract to be eligible for voting. See [here](https://docs.stargate.vechain.org/overview/nft-management) for migration info.

> Authority Master Nodes must transition from PoA to PoS to be eligible to vote after Hayabusa. See [here](https://docs.stargate.vechain.org/overview/nft-management) for migration info.

### How Voting Works

VeVote uses **standard voting** with the following options:

* **FOR**
* **AGAINST**
* **ABSTAIN**

Your total voting power is applied entirely to the option you select.

#### 🚨 **One Vote Per Proposal**:

Each wallet can only vote **once** per proposal. You **cannot change or re-submit** your vote once it has been cast.
{% endhint %}

### Summary

VeVote enables:

* On-chain governance with off-chain execution
* Upgradeable and modular smart contract architecture

It’s a flexible governance tool purpose-built for the VeChain ecosystem.
