\subsection{Voting Mechanism}

The gridcoin wallet embeds a voting mechanism that allows polls to be created and answered by users. How many votes a user has depends on user's coin and research age.\\

A list of current and past polls is mantained on Gridcoin Stats [57]. To vote on a poll a user issues the command \texttt{gridcoinresearchd execute vote [pollname] [pollanswer]} [56].\\

Polls can be of any kind, the most important ones related about projects to be included or excluded from the Gridcoin Whitelist [42].
