For a referendum, `1 SNX = 1 vote` (i.e. linear voting). Voting will take place on [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/).

Given the nature of referendums is to enact significant change, for the referendum to pass, it must meet two criteria:
--1. A quorum, meaning the minimum number of SNX tokens that are required to partake in a referendum (vote yes, no or abstain), of 75m SNX tokens is required. The rationale for this number is outlined in _Note 1_ below. This represents half of the non-Treasury SNX stakers and is over 400% more SNX tokens than those that voted in the recent Spartan Council election.
--2. Approval must be over two-thirds majority of the yes/no vote (i.e. 66.67% approval threshold, excluding abstention).

2. Approval must be over two-thirds majority of the yes/no vote (i.e. 66.67% approval threshold, excluding abstention).
These criteria can be voted on by governance with an SCCP.

_Note 1 - There are ~150m staked SNX, excluding the Synthetix Treasury balance. Stakers are a representation of the more active component of the Synthetix community. 75m SNX tokens, or 50% of these community members, represent an adequate sample size of the community. Additionally, based on the recent election only ~17m SNX tokens partook in the Spartan Council election (<12.5m debt shares, with a debt per voting power of ~0.5, and an average c-ratio of <350% across Synthetix --> <$22m worth of SNX tokens, or <17m SNX tokens priced at $1.30). 75m SNX tokens represents over 400% of the community that recently partook in protocol governance._
