# Quadratic Voting

The Mogul voting contract uses a quadratic formula to calculate how many votes each MOGUL holder gets when voting on which film Mogul will finance.&#x20;

The number of votes a MOGUL holder receives is equal to the square root of the number of MOGUL they have.&#x20;

**Benefits:**&#x20;

* Smaller holders are given proportionally larger voting power compared to large holders
* The voice of the entire community is taken into consideration rather than a minority of large token holders
* Users are still encouraged to hold more MOGUL to receive more votes

Quadratic voting is meant to harness the power of the crowd so that everyone has a voice, regardless of the number of tokens you hold.&#x20;
