Every awards show, music festival, and talent competition needs two things: broad audience engagement and a credible, tamper-proof result. Most platforms do one or the other. vote2sort does both — open fan voting for your audience, secure private ballots for your judges, with ranked voting when the decision is too close to call.
Whether it's a stadium of fans voting for Best Performer, a school picking their class president, or an awards show jury choosing a winner — collecting and counting those votes reliably is harder than it looks. Most tools make you choose between broad public engagement and a secure, auditable result.
vote2sort was built to handle the whole process in one place — from open fan voting at live events to private committee ballots at awards shows — so organizers can focus on the experience, not the logistics.
vote2sort is the only platform that runs public fan voting and private jury ballots simultaneously — for the same event, in the same system. An awards show can let thousands of fans vote for their favorite artist online while a select panel of judges votes privately on the same categories. One platform, two audiences, one result.
Trusted by music awards shows and entertainment events in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
vote2sort is built for public polling, private elections, and hybrid voting. Here's how real organizations use it.
Share a public link before, during, or after your event so fans can vote for their favorites in real time. No account required. Results update live and are shareable on social media to drive buzz for your brand.
Run a secure, invitation-only election where each eligible voter receives a unique access link. Candidates can include bios, photos, or videos. Results are revealed only when you're ready — fully auditable.
The best of both worlds. Run public fan voting and a private jury ballot simultaneously for the same event. Fan votes and judge votes are tracked separately and can be weighted or combined however you choose.
Perfect for talent shows, film festivals, restaurant awards, and "best of" competitions. Let your audience crown the winner with a transparent, real-time public vote — or combine it with a private panel for a blended result.
Create a poll, add your items or nominees, and publish it. Share the link wherever your audience is — social media, email, on-site at an event, or during a livestream. Participants vote from any device with no app or account required, and results update automatically in real time.
Create your election, add contests and candidates, and upload your voter list. Each eligible voter receives a secure, one-time access link by email. Ballots are confidential, voting is limited to one submission per voter, and when the election closes, results are automatically tallied and available as a PDF or CSV report.
Not every vote is the same. vote2sort supports multiple voting methods, configurable per contest within the same election.
Each voter selects one candidate per contest. The candidate with the most votes wins. Simple, familiar, and fast — ideal when there's a clear field and one winner per category.
Best for: Class president elections, single award categories, yes/no resolutions.
Voters select up to a configured number of candidates per contest. The top vote-getters win. Useful when you need to fill multiple seats or select a group of finalists from a larger field.
Best for: Board elections, selecting multiple finalists, "vote for your top 3" contests.
Voters rank candidates in order of preference. Each rank position earns points — 1st place earns the most, last place earns the least. Points are totaled across all ballots to determine the winner. The result reflects the full spectrum of voter preference, not just who got the most first-place votes.
This is especially powerful when the field is competitive and the margin between candidates is small — a candidate who is everyone's second choice can outrank a polarizing frontrunner.
Best for: Awards show jury ballots, festival competitions, any contest where ranking the full field matters.
A single election can contain multiple contests, each with its own voting method. Run a standard single-winner vote for "Best New Artist" and a Borda Count ranked vote for "Best Album of the Year" — all within the same election, on the same ballot.
Voters move through each contest in sequence. Organizers see separate results per contest with full PDF and CSV reporting.
Best for: Multi-category awards shows, festivals with both audience choice and jury categories.
Use vote2sort for public polling, private elections, or hybrid voting — then share clear results your audience can trust.
