 ====== Voting in WPLUG ======
-WPLUG is a member-driven collective. We vote on direction and action—not on every detail.
+WPLUG is a member-driven collective. We believe that the direction of the group should be decided by those who participate in it. To achieve this, we use a transparent, verifiable voting system that ensures every eligible voice is counted.
 ====== Our Philosophy ======
-We reject corporate black-box governance. The collective's will is the final authority on what WPLUG does. But we also trust technical experts to make technical decisions without polling the membership on every config file.
