Create a ranked-choice poll

When the winner should reflect real preference, use a ranked poll. Voters drag options into their preferred order, and we run an instant-runoff count to find the option with genuine majority support — not just the most first-place votes.

Drag to rank

Voters order every option from favourite to least favourite. It takes seconds and captures far more signal than a single pick.

Instant-runoff results

We eliminate the lowest option and redistribute its votes round by round until one option has a majority — the fairest way to pick a single winner.

See every round

The results view shows each elimination round, so the outcome is transparent and easy to explain.

FAQ

A method that repeatedly eliminates the least-popular option and transfers those votes until one option has a majority.

Do voters have to rank everything?

They can rank as many options as they like; unranked options simply aren’t counted for that ballot.
