![votepowerexample.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQtkkeZ5ZP9AwcCAESSJk4fwgAmx9sSPDHrYgPz1UTyiR/votepowerexample.png) Some of you may be wondering how the current voting system works when it comes to the recharge rate of voting power ![votepowerexample.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfSmfZ6qLeGBnrMLqHKimPxgS8pwWGpUXf39iqPwt3n93/votepowerexample.png) In **Hard Fork 0.19.0**, voting changed from 40 votes at 100% per day to 10 votes before your voting power is greatly affected. Each 100% vote after, it greatly decreases your voting power. When you are at 100% voting power and doing 10 votes at 100%, it will bring your voting power down to roughly **81.66%** or so. Ideally, you want to try and keep your voting power above 80-90% to have your vote weight have a stronger impact on rewards when voting on content. Currently, you are able to adjust your voting percentage with a vote slider but your account requires over **500 STEEM POWER** in order to use it on Steemit. When adjusting your voting percentage, you are capable of having more votes per day before greatly reducing your voting power. *Below shows an example of how many votes can be done with adjusted voting percentage before being greatly reduced.* Votes | Percentage --- | --- | 10 | 100 % 20 | 50 % 40 | 25 % 80 | 12.5 % 160 | 6.25 % 320 | 3.13 % *Below shows the rate at which the voting power takes to recharge.* Percentage | Recharge Time --- | --- | 20% | per day/24hrs 0.833% | per hour 0.014% | per minute So say your voting power is down to 80%, it will take 24 hrs to recharge to 100%. Some of you may ask why you would adjust your voting percentage. By doing so, you could increase your curation rewards and spread the rewards given out. When it comes to your vote power and rewards, you can check out the official Steemit blog that explains linear rewards. https://steemit.com/steem/@steemitblog/2hfxx1-pre-release-hf19-linear-rewards. If you see someone that voted with low precentage like on steemd, there's no need to fuss about it. There are many different reasons why someone is voting at a certain percentage. Just appreciate that you even have a vote and just... ![votepower2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNctvfSBWRKzQ8o2EuKnS4qu5yqdjPYt1bfjcEVjheYiS/votepower2.png) # Steem on 😉
