Presupuesto

Understand the basics

The Budgets component allows participants to vote by selecting projects of their choosing. This component has been designed to organize voting in the final phase of a Participatory Budget, although it can be used for other types of processes.

Administrators can decide the voting rules, to make participants select a defined number of projects, or vote for as many project they want until reaching a certain amount.

Administrators have several options for the voting workflow and for the voting rules.

In this documentation section, you can find how to configure and manage all of those items:

Go in the projects list and view the results
On the projects that have been selected, go in each project, edit it and tick the "Selected for implementation" checkbox.
