# Making a governance vote

To access Aquarius Governance, visit [gov.aqua.network](https://gov.aqua.network).

Here you can browse all past and present proposals. To participate, sign in with any of the supported Stellar wallets — the LOBSTR wallet and extension, Freighter, Ledger, or WalletConnect-compatible wallets.

### How to vote

Once signed in, open an active proposal and select **For**, **Against**, or **Abstain**. All three choices count toward quorum. The proposal outcome compares **For** and **Against** votes; **Abstain** does not increase either total.

Voting uses governICE received by [locking AQUA into ICE](/aqua-and-ice/ice-tokens-locking-aqua-and-getting-benefits.md). The governICE is held in a claimable balance for the duration of the vote and can be reclaimed after the proposal concludes.
