Record turnout is a feature of Cardano’s latest governance voting, with nearly all the markers on the network facilitating the decision-making process.
According to the figures, 99.5% of the proposed Input and Output Global (IOG) CTO Romain Pellerin, of the 4.657 billion ADAs voted through a delegated representative system on the network.

Voting results show high support for the proposal
The breakdown of the votes demonstrates decisive community sentiment. Of all votes, 76% or 3.57 billion ADAs apply to the recommended measures. Opposing it is 918 million votes, while 169 million votes are votes of distrust. The trivial percentage (only 0.5% of the shares authorized) does not vote.
The voting meeting was a milestone that Cardano called it the “Voltaire era” and was named after French enlighteners and philosophers.

How Cardano’s mobile democracy model works
According to reports from web developers, Cardano adopts a “mobile democracy” governance model that provides flexibility for ADA holders. In this model, the token holder can delegate their governance authority to delegate representatives (DREP) while retaining full control of their funds.
The voting rights of such representatives are proportional to the amount of ADA they allocated. ADA holders also do not hinder their decisions – they can sell voting rights at any time, thus maintaining continuous control over who represents their behavior.
DREP votes on recommendations across a variety of network-wide areas, from technical hard volumes to treasury fund allocation decisions.
Recent hard forks enable full governance features
After the completion of Plomin Hard Fork in January 2025, the governance functions shown in this ballot have been fully in effect. The network update enables the Cardano governance system’s core functions (such as Treasury withdrawals) and enables DREPS to play an official role in the ecosystem.

After this technology upgrade, ADA holders have many options to participate. They are able to vote directly on the proposal, delegate the right to vote to their choice of troubled, abstain completely, or a formal vote of distrust.
One design consideration highlighted by developers includes aspects of retaining unchanged points rewards for ADA holders who are not engaged in governance activities. This approach reflects the front fork operation, allowing people to smoothly transition to new governance systems.
The massive turnout for this major vote suggests that the community has accepted Cardano’s governance model, which combines representative votes with freedom of movement for individual token holders.
At the time of writing, ADA traded at $0.72, up 15% over the past seven days, according to Coingecko data.
