# Vote and Execute

> Vote to approve and immediately execute a proposal in one operation

Combines voting and execution into a single operation. More efficient than separate vote and execute calls when you want to finalize a proposal immediately.

<Warning>
  At least one signer must have `CAN_EXECUTE` permission (mask includes value 4). Unlike the vote endpoint, this is required.
</Warning>

## How It Works

1. Validates proposal is `Active` or `Approved`
2. Filters signers who already approved
3. Selects minimum signers needed to reach threshold
4. First signer with `CAN_EXECUTE` becomes the executor
5. Returns transaction(s) for signing

## When Threshold Is Already Met

<Note>
  If the proposal already has enough approvals, the voting step becomes a no-op—only execution occurs.
</Note>

```typescript theme={null}
// Proposal has 2/2 approvals (Approved status)
const response = await grid.voteAndExecute(accountAddress, proposalAddress, {
  signers: [executorKey]  // Only needs CAN_EXECUTE
});
// Returns execute transaction only
```

## Permission Requirements

* All signers need `CAN_VOTE` (2)
* At least one signer needs `CAN_EXECUTE` (4)

## Transaction Output

Returns 1-2 transactions depending on size:

* **Single transaction**: Vote + execute fit within 1232 bytes
* **Two transactions**: Submit vote first, then execute

```typescript theme={null}
const response = await grid.voteAndExecute(accountAddress, proposalAddress, {
  signers: [signerWithExecute],
  fee_config: { currency: "SOL", payer_address: payerKey }
});

// Sign and submit in order
for (const tx of response.transactions) {
  await signAndSubmit(tx);
}
```

## When to Use Vote vs Vote-and-Execute

| Use Case                         | Endpoint         |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| Approve and execute immediately  | Vote-and-Execute |
| Approve without executing        | Vote             |
| Reject or cancel                 | Vote             |
| No CAN\_EXECUTE signer available | Vote             |
