# User Guide

In the DVOTE platform, there are three main parts to the voting process: **spaces, proposals, and votes**. Here's what they mean:

* **Spaces**: Think of a space as a home base for an organization or community. It's like a profile where all the action happens.
* **Proposals**: These are ideas or suggestions that people can bring to the space. Proposals are what you vote on.
* **Votes**: This is how people say "**yes**" or "**no**" to a proposal. The votes determine if a proposal passes or not.

Everything starts with a space. It's where the community gathers, and it's linked to the organization running it. People can create proposals in this space, and then everyone gets a chance to vote on them. The owners of the space decide how the voting process works. They can set rules about who can create proposals and who can vote.

For example, the owners might say that only people who have at least 2,000 of a certain token can create a proposal. They might also set rules about how much voting power someone has based on how many tokens they own. So, if someone has more tokens, their vote might count for more.

If you want more details on how to set up a space, create proposals, or customize voting rules, you can check out the documentation on our website. It has everything you need to know to get started and make the most of the platform.
