Online voting that's fair, anonymous, and live
Online voting is collecting and counting choices over the internet, no show of hands, no paper. With PollsLive your audience votes from any phone or laptop, results animate in real time, and you never make anyone create an account. Run it live on a screen or async over a shared link.

Put a link, 6-digit code, or QR on screen or in chat. Voters join instantly.
3. Count live

Frequently asked questions
What is online voting?
Online voting is collecting and counting choices over the internet instead of by show of hands or paper. People vote from their own phone or laptop and the tally updates automatically. With PollsLive, voters join by link, code, or QR. No app and no account.
Can online voting be anonymous?
Yes. PollsLive does not attach a name to a ballot by default, so votes stay anonymous. It still stops double voting without forcing anyone to sign in, so you get one-person-one-vote behaviour.
Is there a free online voting tool?
Yes. You can run real votes on the PollsLive free plan (3 published polls, 500 responses each) with a free sign-in to create them. Voters never need an account. Pro removes the limits, with the developer API and lead capture included.
How do people join a vote?
Share a link, a short 6-digit code, or a QR. Voters open it on any device and tap their choice. There is nothing to install and no login.
