Hi @griff - thanks for the question. Our the Gitcoin process stipulates the vote has to be open for five days, by practice the we often extend the vote if it falls across a weekend. When the FDD proposal was posted up, the snapshot default date of three days was used by mistake. The mistake was noticed on day two when 4.6M votes had already been cast. @Disruption Joe | Gitcoin posted up a note on the stewards discord forum indicating the mistake.
