Ballot options: Accept · Reject — Do Not Support the Proposed Project · Reject — Would Reconsider in a Future Round at a Lower Amount · Abstain. Both reject options tally as “no” votes; the lower-amount option only signals that the requested amount was the blocker. Grants already paid from the pool are on the pool page, not in this round.
