Who sees who voted for what?
Help on “Who sees who voted for what?”

“With names”: you see who voted for what. “Anonymous”: no name is stored, so even you do not know whose vote it is. “Secret ballot (with list of participants)” (Pro): only invited people vote; you see who has voted, but never what.

Example: Who brings what to the party? → “With names”. How happy are you with the course? → “Anonymous”. Electing the board → “Secret ballot (with list of participants)”.

Nobody – not even you – sees who voted for what. Wannja only stores THAT someone has voted, never the link to the vote. The results appear once voting has closed, and only from 3 votes.

How the secret ballot works:

  • Each invited person gets a personal link by email and can vote with it exactly once. That is why every person needs a stored email address.
  • Wannja only stores the answers – without name, address or time and with no link to the invitation. Nobody can find out later who voted for what: not you and not Wannja either.
  • As with a voting register at a general meeting, you see who has already voted and who has not, and you can remind everyone still missing in one go. You never see how someone voted.
  • The results only appear when the deadline has passed, everyone has voted or you close the ballot. There are no interim results, not even for you.
  • Free text is possible, but content and writing style can reveal who wrote something.

What it cannot do:

  • Wannja cannot check who is actually voting. Anyone who gets another person’s link – a forwarded email, someone looking at the screen, an intercepted email – can vote in their place.
  • So it is not suitable for political, legally binding or otherwise sensitive votes, for example elections under club statutes with legal consequences, or personnel decisions. These need a procedure that checks who is voting.

With few participants, a vote can often be guessed (for example 3 people, 2 yes and 1 no). We recommend the secret ballot from about 5 people.

Help on “Name required”

Applies to “With names” with “Anyone with the link”: when ticked, only people who type in a name can vote. Unticked, the name is optional and votes without a name still count.

Example: Turn it off if people who prefer not to give their name may also take part.

Who can vote?
Help on “Who can vote?”

“Anyone with the link”: anyone with the link or QR code can vote – handy for a chat or a hall; duplicate votes are curbed, but not reliably prevented. “Invited people only” (Pro): only people with a personal invitation vote, exactly once, and you see who is still missing.

Example: Vote in the hall via QR code → “Anyone with the link”. Decision among the 9 board members → “Invited people only”.

Who sees the results, and when?
Help on “Who sees the results, and when?”

Decides when participants see the results: right away, after their own vote, only once the poll is closed, or not at all. You always see the results yourself – except in a secret ballot. All four choices are free.

Example: “Only after closing” when nobody should be swayed by the others’ votes.

Help on “Response deadline”

Voting is possible up to and including this day; you can also close the poll by hand at any time. With “Only after closing”, everyone who voted with an email address then gets the results by email. 14 days after the deadline it is archived, not deleted.

Example: Meeting on 20 March: deadline 19 March so you can show the results at the meeting.

Voting is possible up to and including this day. You can also close the poll manually at any time.

Poll valid for
Help on “Poll valid for”

The poll accepts votes for this long if you do not set a response deadline. After that it is archived, not deleted: you can still see the results. With a response deadline, it ends 14 days after the deadline instead.

Example: 6 months for an ongoing feedback poll, 1 week for a quick question to the class.

With a response deadline, the poll ends automatically 14 days after the deadline. Expired polls are archived, not deleted.

Help on “Automatic reminder”

Invited people who have not answered yet get an email reminder in the last 5 days before the response deadline – one per deadline and no earlier than 2 days after the invitation. This only works with a response deadline and for invited people with an email address; anyone who only has the general link is not reminded.

Example: Deadline 20 March: anyone who has not answered by 15 March gets a reminder then.
