One vote per device
Single-submission mode is a single switch. The browser gets a durable identifier that survives clearing part of its storage, and a repeat submission is rejected on the server too.
Create an online vote
A vote is worth exactly as much as people trust it. So what matters here is not the styling but the one-vote-per-device mode: a second attempt from the same browser is rejected, and the person sees your message instead of a fresh form.
Each vote counts once
Your message to returning voters
Someone who opens the link again sees neither an empty form nor an error, but your own text: “you have already voted, thank you.” You write the wording.
Anonymous, no sign-up
Voters need no account, email or phone: open the link, pick an option, submit. The shorter the path, the higher the turnout.
Link, QR code or widget
Share the link in a chat, print a QR code, or embed the vote in your site with one script tag.
The tally is automatic
The organiser sees the distribution and the trend in the dashboard, and answers export to CSV or XLSX. Nobody counts ballots by hand.
Your data stays yours
Export and migration are always available, so there is no vendor lock-in, and a self-hosted build is available when the results have to stay on infrastructure you control.
What people decide by voting
Residents’ vote
Yard improvements, choosing a contractor, the order of works. One vote per household instead of paper ballots and door-to-door rounds.
A choice inside the team
The date of an offsite, a project name, next quarter’s priorities. Anonymity removes the “whatever the boss picked” effect.
A contest or an award
Audience voting on submitted entries. Single-submission mode answers the most common complaint: “the winner stuffed the ballot”.
A community poll
What to do with a public space, which route to run, what format of event is wanted. A link and a QR code on the notice board.
Picking a date or a format
When everyone is free, online or in person, which topic is more interesting. A quick vote instead of a long thread.
Voting at an event
Best talk, speaker ratings, questions from the room. A QR code on the screen and the result in hand right after the session.

Questions about voting
Do voters see the results after submitting?
No. The distribution is visible to the organiser in the dashboard; the participant sees your final screen. That is deliberate: a running tally on screen nudges people to join the leader and skews the outcome. If the results should be public, publish them yourself once voting closes.
How do you prevent ballot stuffing?
With single-submission mode. The browser gets a durable identifier that survives clearing part of its storage, and a repeat submission is rejected both on the device and on the server. To be straight about the limits: this stops ordinary repeat submissions, not a motivated attacker. Incognito, another browser or another device counts as a new participant. A legally binding procedure with identity verification is a different class of tool.
Can people vote anonymously?
Yes, and that is the default: no sign-up, email or phone required. If your procedure needs the opposite, add required fields with validation to the vote.
Is voting free?
Yes. The free plan covers up to 5 votes and 150 responses in total, single-submission mode, the shareable link and the website widget. No card needed. If you expect more responses, the paid plans raise the limit.
Can I close voting at a set time?
Yes, voting stops when you close response collection. The link keeps working and shows your closing message instead of the form.
Where are the results stored?
On our servers, with export to CSV and XLSX and no vendor lock-in. If your organisation needs the results to stay on its own infrastructure, the self-hosted build covers that.
