# Voting on Proposals

### Voting through Governance Portals

Delegates can interact with ZKsync contracts through specialized website applications called governance portals. Currently, there are two primary governance portals connected to ZKsync governance contracts:

1. **Tally:** The ZKsync Tally Governance Portal is owned and managed by the ZKsync Association. You can access the portal at [vote.zknation.io](http://vote.zknation.io).
2. **Boardroom:** Additional interfaces help ensure governance is accessible through multiple channels. Boardroom is already configured and can be accessed at <https://boardroom.io/zksync>.

### Voting through the ZKsync Era Block Explorer

Besides governance portals, anyone can interact with ZKsync governance contracts on the [ZKsync Era Block Explorer](http://explorer.zksync.io). Follow these steps to vote:

#### Step 1: Select the Right Governor

Navigate to the right governor contract by pasting the relevant governor contract address into the ZKsync Era Block Explorer search bar.

* For Protocol Upgrade Proposals (or “ZKsync Improvement Proposals”), use the Protocol Governor address.
* For Token Program Proposals, use the Token Governor address.
* For Governance Advisory Proposals, use the GovOps Governor address.
