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.

Budgets example voting
