# Proposal Process

1. Submit a proposal to the DFX [forum](https://forum.dfx.finance/).
2. Proposal is submitted to [Snapshot](https://vote.dfx.finance/#/) for a vote.
3. Wait for the voting time to lapse to see the result of the proposal.

## Who can submit proposals?

* Anyone can submit a forum proposal.

<mark style="color:yellow;">`Note:`</mark> Once you have submitted a proposal on the forum, it will be active for 3 days so that the DFX community can comment suggestions and cast a 'pre-vote'.

## Who is eligible to vote?

* Once a proposal is posted for voting, a 'snapshot' of all veDFX holders will be taken.
* All of those addresses holding veDFX will be eligible to vote.

<mark style="color:yellow;">`Two things to Note:`</mark>

1. veDFX is only accessible on <img src="https://2668992322-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MTAZjFIU5DYOvjU2wQl%2Fuploads%2FymJk1jwTUlhasymMjwyU%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=2e411a5d-473d-4e8b-bef6-4c5e1a668baa" alt="" data-size="line"> Ethereum.
2. You cannot purchase DFX, lock it for veDFX, and join an ongoing vote after it's been submitted on Snapshot.

## How can we determine if the proposal will pass or fail?

* To pass and be implemented, a proposal needs at least 15% of the total veDFX supply to vote, with 66% of the votes in favor ("Yes" or "For").

<mark style="color:yellow;">`Note:`</mark> This is sometimes referred to as reaching 'quorum[^1]'.
