Reject a Proposal

Casts a rejection vote on an Active proposal. Once rejections reach the cutoff (num_voters − threshold + 1), the proposal becomes Rejected — a terminal state; its transaction can never execute and should be closed.

The signer must hold the Vote permission. A signer may switch a prior approval to a rejection. See Permissions & Threshold for the cutoff math.

Program method — reject_proposal

Signs with payer + signer, then sends.

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
payer	Keypair	yes	—	Pays the fee; co-signs.
settings	#to_s	yes	—	The settings account address.
signer	#to_s · Keypair	yes	—	A Vote-holding member; must sign.
transaction_index	Integer	yes	—	Index of the proposal's transaction.
memo	String	no	nil	Optional indexing memo.

Plus the shared sign: / execute: controls and Solace::Transaction return — see Conventions.

program.reject_proposal(
  payer:             member,
  settings:          identity.settings_address,
  signer:            member,
  transaction_index: 1
)

Composer — SquadsSmartAccountsRejectProposalComposer

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
settings	#to_s	yes	—	The settings account address.
signer	#to_s · Keypair	yes	—	A Vote-holding member; must sign.
proposal	#to_s	yes	—	The Proposal PDA to vote on.
memo	String	no	nil	Indexing memo.

proposal, = program.get_proposal_address(
  settings_address:  identity.settings_address,
  transaction_index: 1
)

composer = Solace::Composers::SquadsSmartAccountsRejectProposalComposer.new(
  settings: identity.settings_address,
  signer:   member.address,
  proposal:

                                .add_instruction(composer)
                                .set_fee_payer(member)
                                .compose_transaction

Low-level instruction (advanced)

• Discriminator: [114, 162, 164, 82, 191, 11, 102, 25]
• Encodes (data): option_string(memo)

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
memo	String, nil	yes	—	Indexing memo, or nil.
settings_index	Integer	yes	—	Index of the settings account.
signer_index	Integer	yes	—	Index of the voting signer.
proposal_index	Integer	yes	—	Index of the Proposal PDA.
system_program_index	Integer	yes	—	The optional systemProgram slot — fill with the program id when absent.
program_index	Integer	yes	—	Index of the Squads program.

Shares the VoteOnProposal account layout with approve; only the discriminator differs. systemProgram is absent, so its slot carries the Squads program id.
