# Proposal Finalization and Execution

After the voting period ends, proposals must be finalized to determine the outcome, then executed after the timelock passes.

## Finalize Proposal

### createFinalizeProposalInstruction

Finalizes a proposal after its voting period has ended. Determines whether the proposal passed or was rejected based on the rejection threshold. Anyone can call this instruction.

```typescript theme={null}
import { createFinalizeProposalInstruction } from "@exponent-labs/exponent-sdk/client/vaults";

const ix = createFinalizeProposalInstruction({
  payer: wallet.publicKey,
  vault: vaultAddress,
  mintLp: vaultMintLp,
  proposal: proposalAddress,
});
```
