Vote for Referendums
The referendum system is in place on EOS mainnet for token holders to voice their opinions. Anyone with an EOS account can create a proposal, and if it meets the thresholds, it will be passed and executed. The three thresholds are;
A minimum of 15% of all tokens that have been issued must vote on the proposal
At least 55% of all votes must be cast for Yes
Sustain both of the above thresholds for 30 consecutive day
As a token holder, you are entitled to state your opinion and vote on proposals and 1 token will equal 1 vote. You are allowed to vote for as many proposals as you'd like, and you are also able to leave a comment with your vote.
EOS Canada has an excellent FAQ for everything related to the EOS Referendum Contract here.
