# Maker Relay: Quality Assurance

## The Votes Section ⚖️ ( Step 2)

When doing any part of the voting section, keep in mind that it is important to both separate and clarify an update on a vote that is now closed, and a notice of active polls/votes. We want to advertise our active voting abilites on the forefront, and keep updates secondary (both are important, but active always comes first).

Also consider: is this a weekly poll or monthly vote?

### Executive Votes

Create a bulleted list summarizing the executive proposals listed at https://vote.makerdao.com/.

Double check for matching polls [here](https://mkrgov.science/executive)

### Governance Polls

Create a table summarizing the polls found [in maker's voting portal](https://vote.makerdao.com/polling) and [in mkrgov science](https://mkrgov.science/polls)

If these do not match up, LongForWisdom or someone else in #governance-and-risk can be contacted for clarification.

#### Meta Parameter Polls

Create a table summarizing the polls found at https://vote.makerdao.com/polling using the following template:
