<p>All participants in the Accumulo project are encouraged to vote. For
technical decisions, only the votes of active committers are binding.
Non-binding votes are still useful for those with binding votes to understand
the perception of an action across the wider Accumulo community. For PMC
decisions, only the votes of active PMC members are binding.</p>
<p>Voting can also be applied to changes to the Accumulo codebase. Please
refer to the Accumulo commit and review standard for details.</p>

<p>A valid, binding veto cannot be overruled. If a veto is cast, it must be
accompanied by a valid reason explaining the veto. The validity of a veto, if
challenged, can be confirmed by anyone who has a binding vote. This does not
necessarily signify agreement with the veto, but merely that the veto is
valid.</p>
<p>If you disagree with a valid veto, you must lobby the person casting the
veto to withdraw their veto. If a veto is not withdrawn, the action that has
been vetoed must be reversed in a timely manner.</p>
