| A lock is placed on the {{ polkadot: DOT :polkadot }}{{ kusama: KSM :kusama }} when you vote on an | ||
| Ongoing referendum. If you choose to remove your vote when the referendum is still in the decision period, | ||
| your voting lock is removed. Once the referendum is decided (accepted or rejected), your {{ polkadot: DOT :polkadot }}{{ kusama: KSM :kusama }} | ||
| will be available for unlocking if you voted with zero conviction. The governance app or interface you | ||
| used for participating in Polkadot OpenGov should show an option to unlock your {{ polkadot: DOT :polkadot }}{{ kusama: KSM :kusama }}. | ||
| [Here](https://support.polkadot.network/support/solutions/articles/65000184129) are the instructions to | ||
| do it on the Polkadot-JS UI. | ||
|
|
||
| If you voted with conviction, the corresponding locks start at the end of the Referendum and not at the moment you voted. | ||
| For instance, let's say you voted AYE with 6X conviction on a referendum, and it got accepted; the | ||
| {{ polkadot: DOT :polkadot }}{{ kusama: KSM :kusama }} you voted with is locked for 32 weeks from that moment. | ||
| If you voted NAY with 6X conviction on a referendum and it got accepted, then your {{ polkadot: DOT :polkadot }}{{ kusama: KSM :kusama }} | ||
| would be ready to be unlocked immediately. Polkadot OpenGov is designed to ensure that only the winning side | ||
| is mandated to lock their {{ polkadot: DOT :polkadot }}{{ kusama: KSM :kusama }} and the losing side can claim | ||
| {{ polkadot: DOT :polkadot }}{{ kusama: KSM :kusama }} and have it added to the transferable balance on their account. | ||
|
|
||
| For unlocking generic account locks, navigate to [this section](./learn-guides-accounts.md#unlocking-locks). When you | ||
| delegate your votes, the locking mechanism differs slightly. Please check the next section on Multirole Delegation for | ||
| more information. |
