VAAP Voting
Voting Guidelines
Everything you need to know about eligibility, the rules that apply, and how the voting process works.
Who can vote
- You must be an approved VAAP member with an active membership.
- The Super Admin grants two separate rights: a Governance voting right (proposals) and an Election voting right (office-bearer elections).
- Some proposals are restricted to specific membership categories. The proposal page shows whether you are eligible.
- You can check your current rights anytime under Dashboard, Voting Status.
Voting rules
- One member, one vote. Votes are not weighted by holdings, tokens or XRP balance.
- You can only vote while a proposal is open, between its opening and closing times.
- Whether you may change your vote before the deadline depends on the rule set for each proposal.
- Election ballots are secret: your selection is encrypted and never linked to your identity in results.
How to vote
- Open Active Votes and choose a proposal.
- Sign in with your member account. You will be returned to the proposal afterwards.
- Pick your option, review it, and confirm.
- Keep your receipt ID. You can use it to verify that your vote was recorded.
Results and verification
- When voting closes, results are tallied and published on Voting Results.
- Vote records and final results are anchored on the XRP Ledger by VAAP. Members do not need a wallet or XRP.
- Anyone can confirm an anchor or receipt on the verification page.
