This section covers Viewing Results, a key feature for poll creators, participants, and shared viewers to examine poll outcomes including aggregated scores, participant avatars, and concise summaries. It’s available to anyone with access to a poll link, whether on desktop or mobile devices, providing seamless responsive views that adapt to screen size. After creating a poll Creating and Sharing Polls or casting votes Participating and Voting, results become visible immediately (or upon poll closure if configured). For further poll management like finalizing outcomes, see Managing Polls.

Overview

Viewing Results displays real-time or final poll tallies in an intuitive, responsive format. On larger screens, it shows detailed layouts with side-by-side comparisons; on smaller screens, it stacks elements vertically for easy scrolling. Key elements include vote counts or percentages per option, thumbnails of voter avatars, and a summary card highlighting the top result or overall winner.

Accessing Results

To view results:

1. Open the poll via its unique shareable link (sent via email, chat, or copied from Creating and Sharing Polls).
2. Scroll to the bottom of the poll page or click the Results tab if voting is complete.
3. Results update live as votes are cast, unless the poll is set to Hide Results Until Closed in poll settings.

[!NOTE]
Guest voters (non-logged-in users) see anonymized results without avatars; logged-in participants see full details including their own vote.
