- ·Live counter is satisfying to watch as votes come in.
Tips for running it well
- 1
Phrase the question so 'yes' is unambiguous. 'Should we cancel?' is better than 'Should we not go ahead?'.
- 2
Include a one-sentence context note so voters have the same frame.
- 3
Don't use yes/no for emotional or nuanced topics — use a rating template instead.
Ways to customise it
Add 'Unsure' as a third option if you genuinely want to measure uncertainty.
Pair with a feedback flow: route 'no' voters to a private follow-up.
Embed it in a newsletter to drive engagement.
Questions
Can I see how the vote trended over time?
Yes — the analytics tab shows a vote-over-time chart so you can spot spikes after sharing the poll in different channels.
Can the result be tied?
Yes. Add a third tie-breaker option if that's a concern, or set a maxVotes limit and close on first reach.
Is yes / no anonymous?
By default, yes. You can optionally require sign-in if you need a named vote.
