# Ballots

### Overview

The **Ballots** module is a voting tool that helps companies make collective decisions, elect leaders, and establish policies. As a **Network Admin**, you have control over how ballots are created, labeled, and approved across your domain.

Ballots enable transparent and structured decision-making within your MangoApps domain. Admins can configure settings for who can create ballots, customize voting labels, and set auto-approval thresholds.

  Set a label for votes in favor of the ballot item.
* **‘Negative’ Label** – Default: `No`\

  Set a label for users who choose not to take a side.

You can enable automatic approval of ballots when the ‘Affirmative’ vote reaches a certain threshold:

* Toggle the setting **ON** to enable auto-approval.
