# Delegating Votes

Important: You cannot vote on proposals that were created before you delegated your vote. The transaction will go through, but your vote will not be counted.

## **How to delegate your votes?**

Before you can vote, you need to assign your voting power. You can either delegate that to yourself, or to another address.

Notes: the Top 50 Hunter A holders are not allowed to vote, they can neither delegate to nor be delegated by the others for voting .

 1\. On the HUNTER A page, find the “**Delegate Votes**”

2\. Enter the wallet address to **delegate** your voting power. You can assign it to others, or to your self. Then click DELEGATE A, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

3\. Now you or the address which you delegated the voting power can vote on proposals. By delegating your voting power allow the recipient user to vote any decision on a Proposal A without your consent. 

## **Take back the voting power**

After the delegation, if you want to take back your voting power, you just need to enter your own wallet address and delegate back to yourself.  

The recipient does not take any ownership of your HUNTER A tokens.
