# Setting board specific vote limit for users

_By Swathy · May 2, 2025_

For boards where a unique focus is required, implementing a board-specific vote limit can further enhance engagement management.

### Getting started

1.  Navigate to **Boards** in your FeatureOS dashboard.
    
2.  Choose the desired board from the list.
    
3.  Access the **Settings** section for the chosen board.
    
4.  Scroll to find the **Vote Limit Per User** option.

5.  Enable the board-specific vote limit, **ensuring it remains lower than the global limit.**

6.  Set the maximum votes allowed for a user on this particular board and **save** your changes.
    

```
✔️ If a user exceeds his board specific vote limit, he/she cannot vote from the global vote limit. 
✔️ You will not be able to set a time period for board specific vote limit as this is dependent on the global limit.
```

### **Working with user vote limits**

With the user vote limit feature in place,

-   Upon visiting your FeatureOS organization, signed-in users will receive notifications indicating the remaining vote count upon hovering over the upvote icon.

-   Once exhausted the notice will now say 0/n votes remaining!

-   Should a user exhaust their allocated vote limit, they will receive an error message when attempting to vote again.

-   Notably, both upvotes and downvotes count toward the user's overall vote tally.
    
-   The time period begins with the user's first vote after enabling the feature.
