This guide walks participants through how to vote in live polls and view results during a KUDO meeting.
Audience: Participants, Hosts, Presenters, and meeting attendees participating in live polls during KUDO meetings.
Polls can be configured by going to Content > Polls before the meeting, or added during the live session. KUDO supports multiple choice, parliamentary voting, and anonymous ballot formats. Both Operators and Hosts can start, stop, and publish results, and monitor voting activity in real time.
Modifying a poll after it's already live may require participants to refresh their browser, so pre-configuring polls before the meeting begins is strongly recommended. Poll access can also be restricted to specific delegates, and anonymous voting or vote weighting can be configured in advance.
Before you start
Before participating in a poll, confirm that you've already joined the KUDO meeting, the Host or Operator has launched a poll, and the Polls panel is visible inside the meeting interface. Stay connected to a stable internet connection and submit your vote before the Host closes the poll.
Note: Poll availability and result visibility depend on Host or Operator permissions during the meeting.
Voting in a Live Poll
- When a Host launches a poll, the Polls icon on the right-hand side of the meeting interface becomes highlighted. Click it to open the voting panel.
- Read the poll question and review the available answer options before selecting one.
- Click your preferred answer, then click Submit to cast your vote. Once submitted, the poll status updates to Voted while you wait for the Host to close the poll and optionally publish the results.
Viewing Poll Results
- After the poll ends, the Host may choose to publish results to participants depending on the meeting's configuration.
- When results are published, the Results tab becomes highlighted inside the Polls panel.
- Click the Results tab to view the outcome.
- Poll results display a visual summary using bar or pie charts, and may include a breakdown of eligible voters, actual voters, and non-voters.
