The Hyperliquid info endpoint with `type: "validatorL1Votes"` is used to fetch the pending validator L1 governance votes/actions.

<Tip>
  Estimate your monthly cost for this API using the [Pricing Calculator](/docs/pricing-calculator?endpoint=%2Fapi-reference%2Fhyperliquid-info%2Fvalidator-l1-votes).
</Tip>

<Info>
  * Wire-equal to `POST api.hyperliquid.xyz/info` with `{"type": "validatorL1Votes"}`.
  * Each entry is an L1 governance action currently awaiting validator votes, with an `expireTime` (ms) after which the pending vote lapses.
  * The `action` object is a tagged variant; its inner shape depends on the specific L1 action being voted on (the example below shows a `settleOutcome` action).
  * This is a global, non-user-keyed type.
</Info>

Returns the pending validator L1 governance votes - the L1 actions currently awaiting validator approval. Each entry pairs an `expireTime` with the `action` under vote.

The `action` is a tagged variant whose inner structure depends on the action type, so treat it as an opaque object keyed by action tag unless you are decoding a specific action you recognize.

Authorization: Bearer <GOLDRUSH_API_KEY>
Content-Type: application/json
