Multiple choice minimum

Started 2025-05-27 by Rusty Epstein

Hi — I appreciate that you have the option to select a maximum number of options a user can vote for, but can you please also add the ability to require a minimum they have to vote for? (e.g. "You must vote for at least 5 options")

Thank you!

Could you please clarify where exactly you need a minimum vote feature? I'm not sure I fully understand your request. In a survey with multiple choice, there is no maximum vote setting, so I’m wondering if you might be referring to something else — perhaps to Dot Voting?

Apologies — I must have been confusing it with Dot Voting. Yes, I've noticed that if the voter doesn't have a minimum number of dots they HAVE to use, entrants with more friends/family/fans will often dominate the voting because people will only vote for theirs and ignore the other options. If you could implement the option to require a minimum number of dots, that would be very helpful!

We already have a feature request (not yet implemented) that would require voters to distribute all their dots in a Dot Voting. Would this be helpful for you as well?
Typically, a Dot Voting is configured with a total number of points e.g. 5 dots. With a limit on how many can be assigned to a single option e.g. a maximum of 3 per option. In such cases, requiring voters to use all available dots might be a more suitable approach.

I believe requiring voters to distribute all their dots would solve the problem. Thank you for your help! Looking forward to seeing that implemented soon.
