How does it work?

You will for sure find a poll that suits your needs.
2 Invite people to vote
Send the link to the participants you want to invite. They will then be able to express their opinions about the proposals.
Depending on the situation, they will be asked to approve / disapprove candidates, rank alternatives, or evaluate them.
