Cosmic voids, the emptiest regions in the Universe, are an increasingly active sector of galaxy clustering analysis. In this talk I will explain why voids are interesting tools for cosmology and what kind of void-related observables we can focus on. I will discuss the treatment of systematics and present some recent methods and results. Finally I will discuss what we can expect from current and upcoming surveys in term of constraining power.
