Dot Voting
Dot Voting is an online dot voting tool that turns a list of ideas into a wall of sticky notes. Everyone gets the same number of dots and sticks them on the ideas they back: all on one, or spread across several.
Use Dot Voting together on your board.
Dots stay hidden while people vote, so nobody follows the crowd. When the group is ready, Reveal results puts the notes in order with the top pick first and shows who backed each idea.
It runs on a shared MockFlow board, right next to the work you are deciding on. Everyone on the board votes in the same app at once and sees the same wall.
- Sticky note wall. Ideas appear as colored sticky notes, and dots sit on them like real stickers.
- Hidden until the reveal. Dots stay private while people vote, which keeps the vote honest. You can turn this off to vote in the open.
- Sorted results. Revealing puts the most backed idea first, marks the top pick and calls out a tie when two ideas share the lead.
- See who backed what. After the reveal, each idea shows the people who put dots on it.
- Flexible rules. Give everyone between 1 and 10 dots, and cap the dots on one idea at 1, 2 or any number.
- Who has voted. The avatar stack shows each person's progress: not voted yet, dots placed, or all dots placed.
- Undo. Cleared the dots or deleted an idea by mistake? Undo brings it back.
