# Walkthrough

Here's a walkthrough of the voting process:

### Review the Discussion

Before voting, review the relevant dispute thread and any available evidence or arguments.

### Commit Phase

Once you've reviewed the disputes, select your answers and click **Commit**.

### After the Vote

Once the Reveal Phase ends, the winning option must meet both thresholds:

1. **Quorum:** 5M tokens
2. **Consensus:** >65% of staked UMA

If both thresholds are met, the market resolves and winning shares are paid out shortly afterward.
