# Voting Power

Voting power refers to the influence or authority that the user holds within the network. This power correlates with the token balance the user owns or controls. The weight of each user's vote is proportional to the number of tokens they hold. Therefore, users with more tokens have more significant influence or voting power in decision-making processes.

Operating on the Bitcoin network, Votico uses the protocol that allows to determine the vote weight of not only BRC-20 tokens, but also Runes and Ordinals. In this way the voting power will be proportionally calculated between holders of various assets.

Voting power for each user is calculated on the basis of the [voting strategies](/asigna/votico/quickstart/voting.md#voting-strategies) selected in the project settings.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The voting power of each user is calculated for the state of the blockchain at the specific snapshot (block number at which the proposal started). It means that if the user acquires required assets **after** the proposal has been created, they will not be taken into account for their voting power calculation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://asigna.gitbook.io/asigna/votico/quickstart/voting/voting-power.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
