The democratic process for ApeCoin continues to unfold. The project recently completed its first round of voting for the ApeCoin Special Council and Governance Working Group. The results for these crucial community roles can be found in full here.

The Special Council's role is to oversee and coordinate the broad strokes of the project's development, while the Governance Working Group Stewards are entrusted with more specialized areas of operation.

The second round of voting, based on the provisions of AIP-138: The Special Council Election Process, will kick off today and run until June 28. This stage will spotlight the top five nominees from both categories, with the community given the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidates.

Unlike the first round, the upcoming voting will adopt a single choice format, allowing voters to support just one nominee.
