On OpaVote Poll creates a voting page where anyone with the address of the voting page can vote. Low security techniques (cookies) are used to prevent people from voting more than once. If you need higher security, you should use an OpaVote Election instead.
A Poll proceeds as follows:
Polls have the same three stages as elections. Please read the instructions for elections before reading this section.
This step is the same as for an election, except there is one additional option.
Because you don't provide the list of voters for a poll, no emails are sent out. You need to advertise the poll on a website, via email, or via social media.
For polls, there are no actions you can take during the voting stage since you do not have a list of voters. When you would like to stop the poll and see the final results, click on the Stop Voting button.
At the end of a poll, you see the results (using bar charts) and download the ballots so you can count them independently. You can also publish results as described in the Election documentation.
