# Vote on campaigns

> How the community votes a crowdfunding campaign to launch on Boundless, and who validates milestones.

> **TL;DR:** Before a campaign can go live, the community votes on whether it should launch. Any signed-in user gets one vote. If enough people vote and enough are in favor, the campaign launches and can start raising funds.

## The launch vote

After a campaign is submitted and reviewed, it enters a voting stage. This is the community's chance to decide whether it deserves to launch:

* **Any signed-in Boundless user** can cast one vote, up or down, per campaign.
* The vote must reach a **quorum** (a minimum number of votes) before the result counts.
* Once quorum is met, the campaign passes if it clears the **threshold**: the share of votes in favor.

Typical defaults are a quorum of **10 votes** and a **60%** in-favor threshold, checked periodically. If the campaign passes, it launches on-chain and funding opens; if not, it doesn't go live.

## Who validates milestones

Voting decides whether a campaign *launches*. Once it's live, each **milestone** is checked by a **delegated reviewer**: a trusted community member assigned to the campaign, not by an open vote. See [Milestones and releases](/backers/milestones-and-releases).

## For creators

* When [creating campaigns](/backers/create-a-campaign), you can enable community validation and set the rules (who votes, threshold, etc.).
* Use it to build trust: backers see that releases are gated on community approval.

## For backers

* You may be asked to vote or signal on milestone releases or other campaign decisions. Your participation helps keep campaigns accountable.
