We have adapted and extended our Yes-No polls to your feedback. The following has changed:

Better visibility of missing votes on new options
If a new option has been added to your poll, an empty field will appear in the voters' line. Only if your participant votes for or against the option will the field be filled in.

Upvoting or downvoting
With our »Yes« polls, your voters can upvote your options. Negative and neutral votes are combined and ignored. With the target »lowest resistance« you can only collect negative votes and ignore positive votes.

No and undecided as answer
With our »Yes / No« surveys you can allow your participants to rate your options negative or neutral. A negative vote will be subtracted from the positive votes.

Have fun voting!

Updates for our Yes / No vo...

With our new imprint feature you can now define a responsible person and an imprint or conditions of participation for each poll.

Simply check the box »Publisher and imprint« in step 4 »Advanced« and fill in the necessary fields.

The name of the publisher, which can also be a company name, will then appear as the creator and responsible person of your PollUnit. If you fill in the imprint or the conditions, a link will appear at the end of your poll. If this link is clicked, an overlay with your entries opens.

This is suitable, for example, for providing legal information and conditions of participation in your photo contests and competitions.

With a PollUnit Online Voting you can quickly and easily create polls for participants with and without an account. In the last weeks we have been asked more and more if we can implement an IP-check to prevent multiple participation of unregistered users.

And now the time has come: you have the possibility to block unregistered participants via the IP address if they have already voted once.

Why have we only now implemented an IP check?
Computers in networks of schools, universities and companies often use the same IP address. Votings within a university should therefore preferably be carried out without an IP check in order not to exclude too many participants.

You can find out more about the security measures you can take in our tutorial Preventing multiple participation.

The PollUnit pages are currently available in english and german. So you can share your polls also in these languages.

You can choose the default language of your poll based on how you share the member link. The locale in the URL determines the language.

Example: »pollunit.com/en/xyz«

The »/en« ensures that the poll is delivered in english. With »/de« it would be delivered in german.
We recommend that you omit the locale for international polls. So for example: »pollunit.com/xyz«. PollUnit automatically selects the correct language from your participants on the basis of the language of the browser. If it is not recognized, the english version is used.

Our last PollUnit update checks the browser language of your participants and the default language you chose. If they don't match, the user will be asked if he wants to change the language.

This year, 2018, we have concentrated on the further development of our online votings. Dot-voting, systemic consensus, encryption and many more features as well as a huge performance improvement will now help you with your group decisions. But where is the journey going? Here's a little preview of what's on our roadmap for next year.

Free Tables
Similar to our polls, you will be able to create a table and define columns here. However, your participants will not vote for an option, but each participant will be able to fill the columns with content in a row.

Questionnaires
In the course of the next year we want to provide you with questionnaires.

Collect ideas
Keyword brainstorming: We will enable you to easily collect ideas from participants.

Slack integration
We are working on integrating PollUnits into Slack. Our plan is that you can create votings directly in Slack and the participants can vote there without leaving Slack. So you can easily control who can participate in a voting via slack channels.

The function you need is not included? Start a feature request in our Support Forum.
