# Proposals

### What is a proposal?&#x20;

A proposal is a crucial element of the voting system, as it suggests changes that pertain to a specific organization and allows eligible users to cast their vote.&#x20;

Additionally, a specific voting system - such as single choice, weighted, or approval - can be selected individually for each proposal.&#x20;

The voting power for each user is determined by the [voting strategies](/governance/voting-strategies.md) chosen in the community settings.

## Who can submit a proposal?

Each community setting has defined specific validation strategies for eligible users.&#x20;

In the XPR Network community, for example, to submit a proposal, you will need to pay 100,000 XPR.
