Delegates are asked to vote on all ENS DAO proposals
The ENS DAO uses token-weighted voting.
Each $ENS token is worth a single vote in the DAO.
Tokens must be delegated prior to the commencement of a vote for those tokens to be used in a given vote. Find out more information about delegating $ENS here.
All votes are announced on the ENS DAO governance forum and the ENS DAO Twitter account.
For more information about proposals, visit the Proposal page.
Social and Executable Proposals
Delegates are asked to vote on all Social and Executable proposals submitted to the DAO.
Social Proposals are posted on the ENS DAO Snapshot space and are open for 5 days. Voting is free and does not require gas. Votes can be changed for free at any time before a vote ends. Social proposals can be put forward by any Delegate with at least 10,000 $ENS. Find out more about Social Proposals here.
Executable Proposals take place on Tally and are open for 7 days. Voting is not free and requires gas. Votes cannot be changed once they are cast. Executable proposals can be put forward to a vote by any Delegate with at least 100,000 $ENS tokens delegated to their address. Find out more about Executable Proposals here
Steward Elections
Delegates are also asked to vote on Working Group steward elections. Steward elections take place each year in December and June. Each working group will elect three stewards per Term (Q1/Q2 or Q3/Q4). Steward elections are administered by the Meta-Goverance Working Group. Information about working group elections will be posted in the governance forum each December and June with a call for nominees prior to the commencement of voting.
Results from the most recent Steward elections can be viewed here:

ENS Grants
Delegates can also vote on small grant initiatives run by working groups on ensgrants.xyz. Small grants are run monthly by the ENS Ecosystem and Public Goods working groups. More details about small grants initiatives are posted in the governance forum each month and will be discussed on working group calls.
The small grants program has so far distributed 65 ETH to ecosystem and public goods projects and provided five 12,000 USDC scholarships to public goods builders in web3.
