What you can do at a glance

Create polls with single or multiple-choice questions, publish them to a public voting page, display live results on a full-screen projection view, and collect optional voter contact details.

Creating a Poll

Click Create Poll and add a title, optional description, and one or more questions. Each question has text options that voters choose from. You can add images to options for visual polls. Save as draft or publish and go live immediately.

Managing Polls

View polls filtered by Active (draft + live), Closed, or Archived. Go live, close, or reopen polls from the detail page. Edit poll title, description, questions, and options as long as no votes have been cast.

Public Voting Page

Each poll gets a public voting URL with your church logo and branding. Voters step through questions one at a time. Supports multiple languages via built-in translation. After voting, optionally collect name and phone number.

Results Display

A full-screen results page with animated bars updates in real-time via Firestore. Supports light and dark mode toggle for projection. The admin detail page also shows live results with progress bars.

Sharing

Copy the voting page link or results display link directly from the poll detail page. Use QR codes for easy access from printed materials or screens.
