A quick walkthrough of the poll flow — what we ask, why we ask it, and what you get out of it.
Browse the available races and select the one you want to weigh in on. Each race shows the candidates on the ballot. Pick the candidate you support — or the one you think will win, if you prefer to forecast rather than advocate.
Tell us how likely you are to actually vote on Election Day, on a scale from 1 to 5. This helps us understand the difference between what people think and what they will do. A race can look close on paper but be decided by turnout — your likelihood score is part of that picture.
We ask for your name, email address, and ZIP code so we can understand who is participating. This step also unlocks access to the live results. You can optionally share additional information — party affiliation, top issues, full address — which helps paint a richer picture of the electorate.
Optional beyond name, email, and ZIP.
If you want to do more than cast a symbolic vote, this step connects you to the campaign. You can indicate interest in volunteering, donating, or receiving campaign updates.
Entirely optional — skip anytime to go straight to results.
After completing the poll, you see live results showing how everyone has voted — broken down by candidate, with vote share percentages updated in real time. Results reflect all participants on this platform, not a scientifically selected sample.
Here is exactly what we collect at each step and how we use it.
Steps 1 & 2 · Vote
We record your candidate selection, likelihood-to-vote score, session identifier, and the timestamp. No personal information is collected at this step.
Step 3 · Contact Info
We collect your first name, last name, email address, ZIP code, and optionally phone number. This information is used to deduplicate responses and to understand who participates. It is not sold to third parties.
Step 4 · Enrichment (Optional)
Party affiliation, ideology, top issue, and full address. Used to break down results by demographic segments. Entirely optional.
Step 5 · Supporter Action (Optional)
If you express interest in volunteering, donating, or receiving campaign updates, your name and email may be shared with the relevant campaign or organization. You opt in explicitly at this step — it is never done automatically.
No. Our polls are open participation — anyone can weigh in, which means results reflect the people who choose to participate rather than a representative sample of the electorate. We are transparent about this on every results page and in our methodology. We think this kind of citizen sentiment data is valuable, but it should be read alongside traditional polling, not as a replacement for it.
No account is required to vote in a poll. We ask for your name, email, and ZIP code as part of the contact step, but you do not need to register or create a password. Your contact information is used to prevent duplicate votes and to understand who is participating.
Results show the percentage of respondents who selected each candidate or option, based on all responses recorded for that poll. Percentages are calculated in real time from the full response set. We do not weight results by demographics, party registration, or any other factor.
Yes. You can vote in as many different races and opinion polls as you like. Each poll is independent. We use a combination of session tracking and email address to prevent the same person from voting twice in the same poll.
Your contact information is used to deduplicate responses and to understand the demographic composition of our respondents. If you express interest in supporting a candidate at Step 4, your information may be shared with that campaign. We do not sell your information to third parties. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
