# Gauge Voting

Gauge Voting is where users vote to determine the distribution of the weekly $PAWN incentives across the different lending pools. Users with Voting Power can participate in these votes which begin on Thursday at 00:00:00 UTC and end the following Wednesday at 23:59:59 UTC. When voting closes, liquidity mining rewards are split according to the vote and allocated to the pools.

Votes are reset to zero each week and the voting cycle starts again.

## How to vote?

Users with Voting Power can vote on <https://app.pawnfi.com/yield/mining> by clicking vote on the vote table for the lending pool they wish to support, filling in the amount they wish to vote and then clicking the "Confirm" button:
