- Each locality has a funding pot allocated based on population. Your vote will determine how this funding is distributed between the projects in your area.
- Review all of the projects in your area to decide which three you would most like to see funded.
- To cast your vote, select your favourite three projects from the list in your locality and click 'Submit Ballot'.

Find out more about participatory budgeting
Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process that gives local people the power to decide how public sector money is spent. This can be by deciding on how grants are distributed; having a say in how services work in an area; and ultimately influencing decisions at a local authority level by voting on projects that communities would like to see happen in their local area. You can find out more about PB in Scotland here: https://pbscotland.scot/
