Voting Modes
Vora supports three voting modes that control who can participate in your proposals:
| Mode | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Whitelist Only | Only phone numbers you've pre-approved can vote | Controlled customer panels, loyalty programs |
| Public Voting | Anyone with a valid phone number can vote | Open community engagement, broad outreach |
| Badge Earner | Only members with specific NFT badges can vote | Expert panels, VIP feedback, engagement rewards |
