# Vote delegation ShiftCTRL's governance system works through vote delegation. CTRL token holders can either self-delegate or delegate their voting power to others. Good governance requires staying informed about various ideas and proposals, which can be challenging. These proposals often involve complex topics like statistics, economics, and technology. Vote delegation helps by allowing community members to delegate their voting power to delegates who are knowledgeable and can make well-informed decisions. This not only increases overall participation but also improves the efficiency of the governance process, especially when there are many stakeholders involved. Additionally, vote delegation makes ShiftCTRL's governance more inclusive. It allows people who don’t own CTRL tokens to participate and contribute to decision-making by aligning with trusted delegates.\ \ Visit testnet governance in [Tally](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/shiftctrl-test) to perform a delegation using CTRL token from faucet.
