Introduction and Overview
If the vote results are accessible to voters, they can view the results on the vote overview page by clicking the results icon. Live results may be available immediately after casting a ballot.
Understanding the Results Page
The results page presents:
- Vote Title: The name of the vote.
- Vote Description: Complete description shown during voting, which may include images, links, and videos.
- Results Table:
- No.: Position number of the choice on the ballot.
- Choice: The voting option.
- Total Sum: Different from the number of ballots, this applies to [weighted voting]((/knowledge-base/admin-functions/weighted-voting) (Total Sum = Weight of voter × Number of ballots). For non-weighted voting all ballots have the weight of one.
- Individual Ballots: Count of ballots received.
- Voting Graph: Displays results by total sum of votes (weighted votes) as bar chart or pie chart.
- Voter Lists: Shows which voter lists were eligible and their vote weights.
Viewing Your Ballot
As a voter, you can view your submitted ballot after casting your vote by clicking the ballot icon next to the vote in the open or closed vote section.
Each submitted vote has a unique Transaction ID used for auditing, verifying submitted versus recorded votes.
Ensuring Ballot Anonymity
For votes with public ballots, choices are displayed as submitted. For secret ballots, vote choices are not stored in NemoVote’s database and remain anonymous to maintain voter privacy.
Online Voting Use-Case: Pros and Cons
Pros
- No need to separately share results, as voters can see them directly within the system.
- No requirement for live result presentations.
- For non-live votings, all voters can access the results simultaneously by logging into the system.
Cons
- Live event presentations of results remain preferred for official announcements.
- In most cases, preventing voters from seeing results immediately may be necessary, especially for controversial topics.
