vote2sort helps organizations run credible public polls, private elections, and hybrid voting events from one flexible platform — with configurable voting methods, secure access controls, and clear results your audience can trust.
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.
Whether you're running a public poll, a private election, or a hybrid event, the workflow stays simple from setup through results.
Start a public poll, private election, or hybrid voting event and configure the basic rules, timing, and visibility.
Create one or multiple contests, add nominees or options, and choose the voting method that fits each category.
Send secure access links to private voters or publish a public link for your audience to participate from any device.
When voting ends, results are automatically calculated and ready to view, share, or export based on your setup.
vote2sort is designed to be fully self-service — set up and run events at your own pace. Our user guide will walk you through everything: How It Works · What You'll Need · Getting Started Guide
vote2sort supports public engagement, private elections, and hybrid voting across many industries — here are some of the most popular ways organizations use the platform.
Run public fan voting and a private jury ballot simultaneously for the same event — the only platform that does both in one system. Fan votes and judge votes are tracked separately and can be weighted or combined however you choose. Perfect for music awards, talent competitions, restaurant awards, and "best of" events.
Hybrid · Public · PrivateRun audience choice voting, juried competitions, and hybrid voting models where both judges and audiences participate in determining festival winners. Each contest can use a different voting method — standard for audience choice, Borda Count for jury panels — all within the same event.
Hybrid · Borda Count · StandardShare a public link before, during, or after your event so fans can vote for their favorites in real time. No account required — anyone with the link can participate from any device. Results update live and are shareable on social media to drive buzz for your brand.
Public · Real-time resultsRun secure, invitation-only elections 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. Ideal for student government, club leadership, board elections, and campus-wide polls.
Private · Controlled access
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.
Three products. No monthly fees. No surprises. Pay only when you run an event.
Open link, anyone can vote — no account required. Real-time results shareable on social media.
Invitation-only. Each eligible voter receives a secure, unique access link. Priced by voter count.

vote2sort is built for self-service, but our team is here when you need a hand.
We've been running the Las Vegas Music Video Awards on vote2sort for six years, and honestly I can't imagine going back. Before we found them we were cobbling together Survey Monkey for public voting and handling our judge panel entirely over email — it was a mess and we weren't getting our money's worth. What changed everything was having one platform that manages both. Our 24 contests, our public fans, and our private judge panel all run through the same nominee list. Everything stays in sync and I'm not manually reconciling two separate systems anymore. If you're running an awards show and you're still patching together tools, you're making more work for yourself than you need to.
