How To: Share real time election results

Video Tutorial

Overview

UrVote allows administrators to share election results live as votes are submitted. This enables organizations to increase transparency and engagement while allowing members to verify participation without revealing individual vote choices.

This guide explains how administrators can share live election results and allow voters to view verified participation.

When You Would Use This

Live result sharing is useful when organizations want to:

• Increase transparency during elections
• Display results publicly or internally
• Allow members to verify ballots were counted
• Embed live election results on their website or event pages
• Share results during meetings or live announcements

Results sharing can be enabled at any time while the election is active.

Step-by-Step: Sharing Live Results

1. Open your election from the Elections dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Results tab.
3. Select More
4. Select Share Results.
5. The system will generate a live results page showing vote totals updating in real time.
6. Copy the results link to share with members or stakeholders.

Anyone with the link can view results as votes are submitted.

Viewing Verified Votes

Administrators and voters can also view verified vote records.

1. On the shared results page, select View Verified Votes.
2. Voters can enter their unique transaction receipt to confirm their ballot was counted.
3. Verification confirms participation without revealing vote selections.

This allows transparency while maintaining ballot anonymity.

Embedding Live Results

Administrators can also embed election results on external sites.

1. Select Copy Embedded Code from the results sharing panel.
2. Paste the code into your website or portal.
3. The live results chart will update automatically wherever it is embedded.

This is commonly used on organization homepages or event displays.

Tips & Best Practices
