How to Vote

Send a FIO Request from any FIO-enabled wallet that has FIO Request functionality to boardvote@fio for any amount of FIO (the FIO won't be sent to you so the amount doesn't matter) from the FIO Handle which is owned by an account where you have FIO tokens you would like to vote. If your wallet does not support FIO Request, you may transfer your tokens to one that does including the FIO App.
1. Include in the memo the candidate ID from list above of each candidate for which you wish to vote, separated by commas (e.g., 25,21,22). The order is not important.
2. Do not include any other information in your memo.
3. You can vote on maximum of 8 candidates. If your vote contains more candidates, only the first 8 will be considered.
4. If your vote contains invalid candidates or information, it will be ignored.
If you are proxying your tokens they will be counted towards your proxies vote weight and your direct Board vote will be ignored! Remember that if you staked your tokens they may have been automatically proxied. To stop proxying, you must vote for block producers.
If you have multiple FIO accounts you will need to send a FIO Request from each separately to vote each of those accounts. However, if you have multiple FIO Crypto Handles registered to the same FIO Account (private key) you only need to vote with one of those FIO Crypto Handles.
You may update/change your vote at anytime just by sending a new FIO Request with your new voting preferences.

How the Votes are Counted

Your vote issue will be manually created and will show up in Board Vote Tracking | Raw Votes including the voting power (Current weight in FIO). The issue may not be created until after the election day.
Your voting power will be counted based on the number of FIO Tokens you held on the day of the election.
If you are staking tokens they will be counted in voting.
If your tokens are locked, they may not be counted based on the following criteria:
1. Genesis locks
  - Minimum 30% of initial grant is votable, rest is votable after unlock
2. General locks
  - Votable if Can vote flag is set to 1
  - Otherwise locked tokens are not votable
Unless you submit a new vote, your vote will continue to be counted at every election based on then current voting power.
If you want to stop voting send a FIO Request with empty memo field.
Results of elections will be posted here: Board Vote Tracking
