How to Create Single and Multiple Choice Votes in Voteer

Table of contents

Voteer allows organizers to create simple choice (single select) and multiple choice questions. These are the most common and versatile question types used in general meetings and electronic votes.

Creating a Single and Multiple Choice Question

When creating a new question, you can define:

  • Question Title: The main question asked to voters.
  • Question Description: Additional explanatory text displayed below the title.
  • Answers: Add as many response options as needed (free text).

Key Difference:

  • Single Choice: The voter can select only one answer.
  • Multiple Choice: The organizer sets a minimum and maximum number of answers the voter can select.

Blank Vote

Enabled by default.

  • You can customize the label (ex: “Abstain”, “Blank Vote”, “I do not wish to express an opinion”).
  • Blank votes are not counted in the final results (considered non-expressed).
  • The number of blank votes is still visible in the reports.
  • To count abstention, add a specific answer “Abstain” in the list.

Advanced Parameters (for Single & Multiple Choice)

These are the main advanced settings available for this type of vote:

  • Secret Ballot: Allows you to make the question secret or open (only possible if the overall scrutiny is not forced to secret).
  • Groups: Associate the question to specific electoral colleges / groups of voters.
  • Display to Voters: Choose which information is visible to voters:
    • Number / % of blank votes
    • Number / % of voters
    • Number / % of votes cast
    • Participation rate
  • Display of Results: Define what appears in the results:
    • Number of votes (always enabled by default)
    • Percentage (% of expressed votes)
    • Number of votes
  • Associated Publications: Link one or more publications (documents, reports, etc.) directly to the question so they appear alongside it.

Specificities of Multiple Choice

  • You can set a minimum and maximum number of answers the voter is allowed to select.

What the Voter Sees

Voters benefit from a clean and intuitive interface when answering questions.

They can see:

  • The question title clearly at the top
  • A description providing additional context (when added by the organizer)
  • The list of answer options
  • The Abstain option (if enabled)
  • Information about selection limits
  • A progress indicator at the bottom showing remaining selections
The design is simple, responsive, and user-friendly across all devices.
