Introduction to Izivote

Izivote is a platform for running online votes: awards shows, community polls, fan votes, staff recognition, elections, and more. Whether you are collecting a handful of votes or hundreds of thousands, Izivote gives you the tools to build a professional voting page and share it anywhere.

The building blocks

Every vote you run lives on a vote page. A vote page is made up of:

• Categories - the things people vote on (for example “Best Newcomer” or “Employee of the Month”). A page can have one category or many.
• Nominees (also called options) - the choices inside each category. Voters pick one nominee per category.

You decide how voters take part (anonymously, with a social login, by paying per vote, or with an assigned identity), pick a look for the page, then publish it and open voting.

Key features

• Custom vote pages - branded pages with your own cover image, colours, and template.
• Flexible participation - open (anonymous), Google login, paid per-vote, or a controlled list of voter identities.
• Nominations - let the public submit their own nominees for you to approve.
• Live results - watch votes come in, and switch between progress bars, pie charts, bar charts, and tables.
• Present mode - a full-screen, animated reveal for showing results to an audience.
• Share & embed - share a link, post to social media, or embed the vote directly on your own website.
