Let’s say that I am a vlAURA voter, and I want to not vote for something. If I don’t vote on the Aura snapshot, then my votes are just lumped in with everyone else. If I explicitly wish to note vote for for a matter, I can indicate that by choosing abstain. Then those votes will not be counted towards Quorum. Make sense? Are you looking to add 4 options? I don’t think this needs to be so complicated, but if there are voters who also wish to abstain and help Quorum, but not vote in a direction we can deal with it. The foundation members said it was fine and they can just stay out of the things they shouldn’t take a position on. The 3 current options are dictated by [[BIP-163] Restructure Governance Process - Disband Governance Council](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-163-restructure-governance-process-disband-governance-council/4244) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-435-change-to-yes-based-quorum-of-1-million-yes-votes/4798)._
