How To Vote
Introduce
We can use our validator account to vote for ourselves, or we can let other validators or voters vote for ourselves. Below we will demonstrate voting for ourselves using our own validator account, as this is the easiest.
The number of votes, and the number of MAP you pledge are 1 to 1
Before voting, you must first become a validator，If you are not a validator， please to see this.
Step 1: createAccount
If you have done this step before, please skip it.
In this step, you need to transfer your identification information to the corresponding management contract,which will manage your account, keys, and metadata.
The purpose of this step is keep your locked MAP more secure by authorizing alternative keys to be used for signing attestations、voting、validating. By doing so, you can continue to participate in the protocol while keeping the key with access to your locked MAP in storage.
You need createAccount command to perform the above operations,more detail about createAccount command please to see this.

MAPIf you have locked enough MAP for you to vote, please skip this step.
The purpose of this step is to deduct the part of the corresponding vote from the money you locked to the validator you want to vote,so you need to lock your MAP into the corresponding management contract in advance.
You need lockedMAP command to perform the above operations,more detail about lockedMAP command please to see this.
For example
Step 3: vote
This step is voting.
When you get to this step, you can vote for your favorite validator. You can use the getTotalVotesForEligibleValidators subcommand to view all current validators and their votes
For example
For vote example
When you finish voting,your votes will be in the status of pending. At the end of epoch block, the Elected validator will automatic activation the votes in pending related to him, you can also use active command to activate your votes yourself. this active operation need to be greater than your pending vote epoch.
You can click the active and vote to see detail.
Expand:
Case: When you vote for a validator who is not yet been elected.
your pending votes will not be automatic activation,until validator is elected , validator will automatic activation your votes at the next epoch. so If you don't activate your vote, your votes will get benefits after the second epoch when validator be elected.
