# Governance Queries

> Query proposals, votes, deposits, tallies, and governance parameters

The governance extension queries proposals, votes, deposits, and tallies.

```typescript theme={"system"}
import { QueryClient, setupGovExtension } from "@cosmjs/stargate";
import { ProposalStatus } from "cosmjs-types/cosmos/gov/v1beta1/gov";
import { connectComet } from "@cosmjs/tendermint-rpc";

const cometClient = await connectComet("https://rpc.my-chain.network");
const queryClient = QueryClient.withExtensions(cometClient, setupGovExtension);
```

## Proposals

```typescript theme={"system"}
const allProposals = await queryClient.gov.proposals(
  ProposalStatus.PROPOSAL_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED,
  "",
  "",
);
console.info(allProposals.proposals);

const votingProposals = await queryClient.gov.proposals(
  ProposalStatus.PROPOSAL_STATUS_VOTING_PERIOD,
  "",
  "",
);

const proposal = await queryClient.gov.proposal(1);
console.info(proposal.proposal);
```

## Votes and Deposits

```typescript theme={"system"}
const votes = await queryClient.gov.votes(1);
console.info(votes.votes);

const vote = await queryClient.gov.vote(1, "cosmos1...");
console.info(vote.vote);

const deposits = await queryClient.gov.deposits(1);
console.info(deposits.deposits);

const deposit = await queryClient.gov.deposit(1, "cosmos1...");
```

## Tally and Params

```typescript theme={"system"}
const tally = await queryClient.gov.tally(1);
console.info(tally.tally);

const votingParams = await queryClient.gov.params("voting");
const depositParams = await queryClient.gov.params("deposit");
const tallyParams = await queryClient.gov.params("tallying");
```
