# 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. The number of votes a MOGUL holder receives is equal to the square root of the number of MOGUL they have. **Benefits:** * 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.
