# Voting Sub-Process

The Voting Sub-Process is a workflow that can be called by other workflows when users need to vote. It is used within other out-of-the-box workflows such as the Approval Process, the Simple Approval or the Issue Management workflow.

You can use this sub-process in new custom workflows. The result is a true or false boolean that is provided to the parent workflow.

## Roles

There are no specific roles assigned to this workflow. A list of users identified as voting users is provided by the parent workflow. Each user votes regardless of their role.

## Workflow status transformations

No status transformations happen within this sub-process.

## User voting

The workflow presents each voting user with a new task to vote.

It contains a justification field and the options to approve or reject. If the **addComments** process variable is true, the workflow transforms any justification into a comment on the asset page.

{% hint style="info" %}
The voting task expires after the time specified by the **voteTimeoutDuration** process variable and the workflow continues to a result without the vote.
{% endhint %}

## Result

You can use the **votingSuccess** boolean process variable to pass the result to the parent workflow. If the **sendActionEmail** process variable is `true`, each voting user receives an email with the result of the vote.
