Token Holder Education: The Easiest Way to Vote For Block Producers
![Vote eostribeprod](https://eostribe.io/images/vote-bp-easy.jpg)

In <a href="https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@eostribe/token-holder-education-the-eos-glossary">our ongoing series</a> to connect token holders with the best resources and tools to interact with the EOS blockchain, we wanted to provide an overview of the easiest way to vote for Block Producers.

<h2>Which Web Based Voting Portal Should I Use?</h2>

We encourage everyone to use to <a href="https://eosportal.io/chain/12/producers">EOS Portal</a> built by the community if you are using a web based interface. @nsjames has spent a great deal of time securing it and it is the best option currently available in our opinion.

Our favorite voting desktop tool so far is the SimpleEOS wallet from @eosrio. As the name would suggest, you can <a href="https://support.exodus.io/article/757-eos-claiming-your-eos-with-simpleos">easily import your private keys</a> from your Exodus wallet and claim your tokens through this method.

We have prepared a short tutorial for token holders to make this as easy as possible. You can have a wallet up and vote in minutes by following the steps in this tutorial.
