# Voting & Decisions

> How to participate in building votes and consultations

## Digital Voting

When your building needs to make a decision, directors or management companies can run a digital vote. You receive the question, cast your vote, and see the outcome — all within the platform.

## What you can vote on

Votes and consultations can cover anything the building needs to decide together, such as:

* Major works and contractors
* Service charge budgets
* Changes to building policies
* Appointment or removal of directors
* Day-to-day building decisions requiring resident input

## How to vote

<Steps>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Cast your vote">
    Choose your response and confirm. Once submitted, you usually cannot change it.

    Results are shared when the vote closes or when a quorum is reached, depending on how the vote was set up.
