Answers about voter privacy, timing, and how results are protected. For the full technical rundown, see the security overview.
No. Each voter gets a unique, single-use link by email and votes directly — no signup, no password, nothing to install. Only the person running the election needs an account.
No. Each invitation link can submit exactly one ballot. The moment it's used, it's marked used in the same database transaction that records the vote, so there's no gap where the same link could be reused, including by opening the link in two tabs at once.
No. You can see who was invited and who has voted — so you can chase people who haven't and trust your turnout figure — but no screen in the app shows how any individual person voted. Results are only ever shown as totals per option.
The importer is built for real-world exports: it detects and skips header rows, understands two-column "Name, Email" files, accepts comma, semicolon, or tab-delimited rows, dedupes case-insensitively, and tells you exactly how many rows were duplicates or unreadable — with samples — rather than a single opaque error.
Every invitation always ends up as sent, failed, or queued — nothing is silently dropped. If some fail, your election page shows exactly how many and gives you a one-click "Retry pending emails" button. As a backup, a daily sweep also catches any election still holding unsent invitations, in case you never come back to retry manually.
Yes. Every page load and every vote submission independently checks the server's own clock against your deadline before doing anything, so the poll behaves as closed the instant it's due — it doesn't depend on a scheduled job running at the right moment, and a voter can't affect it by changing their own device's clock.
No, and that's intentional. Questions, options, and the voter list all lock the moment an election goes live, so results can't be second-guessed later. You'll always see a full preview of exactly what voters will see before you launch, and you have to check a confirmation box acknowledging this before the launch button becomes active.
No. The PDF and CSV report exports are generated purely from aggregate turnout and per-question vote counts. The reporting code never queries the invitation list at all, so there's no code path that could put an email address into a downloaded report.
All election times throughout the app are shown in UTC+5.
Yes — creating an account and setting up your first election is free. Build your ballot and preview it as a voter before you decide to send a single invitation.
