This concept doc explores the role of delegates and delegation within the context of the ArbitrumDAO. ### What is a delegate? -A delegate is a member of the Arbitrum DAO community who has been elected to represent other token holders and vote on their behalf. Delegates are elected by token holders who choose to grant their voting power to them. Delegates are required to follow the protocols defined by the [Constitution of the Arbitrum DAO](../dao-constitution.md), and must act in the best interest of the token holders whom they represent. +A delegate is a member of the ArbitrumDAO community who has been elected to represent other token holders and vote on their behalf.

By granting their voting power to a delegate, token holders can passively participate by entrusting a representative to vote on proposals in a way that aligns with their own beliefs and values. Token holders who delegate their voting power are able to revoke this delegation and reclaim voting power back to themselves at any time. They may want to do this if, for example, there's an important proposal that they themselves want to vote on directly. ### How to delegate -The Arbitrum DAO uses [Tally](https://tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum) to facilitate delegation. The process in a nutshell: +The ArbitrumDAO uses the [on-chain governance UI](https://alt.gov.arbitrum.foundation/) to facilitate delegation. The process in a nutshell: -1. Connect your Ethereum wallet to [Tally](https://tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum) and navigate to the Arbitrum DAO page. -2. Select the "delegate" button. -3.
