Verifiable Poll Results
The problem with "final results"
A screenshot of a result proves nothing. It cannot show whether votes were added, removed, or quietly edited before the total was announced. For any poll whose outcome matters, that gap is where trust breaks down.
How verification works here
With an Event Pass or a Pro plan, PollMaker.ai builds the result as a tally chain. Each vote is linked to the one before it with a cryptographic hash, so the sequence cannot be changed without breaking every link after it.
When the poll ends, the log is published. Anyone can:
- Recompute the whole count in their own browser and confirm the announced total is correct.
- Confirm continuity, so no ballot was inserted, dropped, or reordered.
- Check their own vote with the receipt they received, without revealing who they are.
No trust in us is required. The math is checkable by anyone who doubts it.
Still anonymous
Verifiability and anonymity are not in tension here. The log contains no voter identities. Receipts are one-way, IP addresses are never stored, and the chain proves the count without naming a single voter.
