# Incentive Voting

Incentive Voting is where users vote to determine the distribution of the weekly EPX incentives across the different pools.

Users with locked EPX, or vlEPX, can participate in these votes which begin on Thursdays at 00:00:00 UTC and end the following Wednesday at 23:59:59 UTC.

When voting closes, 1/4 of that month’s EPX rewards is split according to the vote and supplied to the pools.

Votes are reset to zero each week and the voting cycle starts again.

In the image above, the dai3EPS pool has 41.24% of the votes and would receive 41.24% of the EPX emissions as a reward for providing liquidity to that pool.
