Public polling is free for all account holders. Private election services and advanced features are available under paid plans. Contact us for pricing details.
A public poll is a collection of items published on vote2sort that anyone can vote on. A private election contest is a collection of candidates that is part of a closed election — only voters with a secure access link can participate. With our Hybrid feature, the same list of items can serve as both a public poll and a private election contest simultaneously.
You do. Any account holder designated as a content creator can create and manage public polls and election contests, add candidates or items, and configure voting rules. If you need help setting things up, we're happy to assist.
Yes. You can make a poll fully public and searchable, share it by direct link only, or restrict access to authorized voters for private elections.
Each eligible voter receives a secure access link. They don't need to create an account — they simply use the link provided to cast their confidential ballot.
Yes. You can set a start date, an end date, or both. Once the end date passes, voting closes automatically and the poll or contest remains viewable but locked.
Results are calculated and displayed based on your settings. You can choose to show live vote counts during the voting period or reveal them only after voting closes.
That's configurable. You can display real-time vote counts as votes come in, or hide them until the voting period ends — whichever fits your use case.

Yes. A single election can contain multiple contests, each with their own candidates and voting rules — useful for awards shows, union elections, or any event with more than one category.
