# Snapshot

[Snapshot ](https://snapshot.org/#/)is a simple voting interface that allows users to signal sentiment off-chain. Votes on Snapshot are weighted by the number of EXA owned by an address.

Our Snapshot voting platform can be found [here](https://gov.exact.ly/#/), where all EXAIPs are housed.

Please be aware that to be an eligible voter for any proposal on our Snapshot you must have EXA from any or all of the above options at the time of the vote being started. This means that you cannot simply buy EXA tokens to vote on an already ongoing vote, and is meant to reduce the risk of influence by whales and flash-loaners.

## 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://docs.exact.ly/governance/exactly-protocol-governance/snapshot.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.
