# Community Participation and Voting

Go to: MPIP app on near.org: <https://near.org/meta-pool-official.near/widget/ImprovementProposals>

The community can gets involved in two ways:

* Giving feedback, writing messages and giving opinions in the draft period – Draft status of a MPIP.
* Voting in the voting period – In Progress status of a MPIP.

## Giving Feedback – Discussion

During a **draft period**, community members or even the core team, can discuss the proposal by adding comments on the Discussion section. That means, if the project is not yet in the voting period (in progress), the entire community can leave comments and participate in the discussion regarding the chosen MPIP.

### **How to give feedback?**

1\.     **Connect your NEAR wallet** by clicking the Sign In button or if you do not have an Account yet, create one by clicking the Create Account button.

**The MPIP detail’s view is composed by 5 cards or sections:**

* [x] **Voting period**: it shows the voting period time status. It will show if the voting period has started, has finished or the remaining days to vote if the voting period is in progress.
* [x] **Vote results:** it shows the number of votes per vote type with a progress bar representing the number of votes. Quorum: it keeps the desired quorum to reach to approve the proposal.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

* [x] **Votes**: it lists the votes casted. It includes who votes, which type of vote, the memo (if it exists), and the total amount of voting power.
