# Voting ## **How to participate in Governance?** Trava users need to lock their Trava/rTrava for veTRAVA token to participate in the on-chain governance process. Then, after gaining your voting power, go to the Vote UI in the Governance Portal. You can now vote on active proposals, and before that, don’t forget to read its discussion on the forum carefully. ## **What is voting power?** The number of voting power you receive from veTRAVA depends on your locked balance & unlock time. The minimum locking time is one week, and the maximum locking time is four years. Your voting power gradually decreases as your escrow tokens approach their lock expiry. The graph on Locker UI from Governance Portal illustrates the decrease process. ## **How to vote?** Every proposal has two options to vote: “For” and “Against.” Here is the link to our user guide. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
