Polls & voting

Decisions you can trust - and prove.

Run motions, polls, and rating votes inside live meetings or asynchronously between them. Every vote is timestamped and attributed. Results lock once the poll closes. A tamper-evident audit trail stands up to scrutiny from auditors, members, or your district.

Live poll - question, options, live vote counts, 'I voted' indicator on each member

Three poll types, every use case

Whether you need a formal motion vote, a quick survey, or a temperature check on a proposal, Kutamo has the right shape.

Yes / No

Classic motion vote. Movers and seconders captured. Tally + abstention counts displayed live as members vote.

🗳️
Multiple choice

Pick the venue, the date, the candidate. Per-option vote count, one vote per member, change-your-vote allowed until close.

Rating (1–10)

Slider-based rating with an automatic average and distribution. Perfect for confidence votes or proposal sentiment.

Async poll between meetings - members vote via email, results closed at deadline

Live or asynchronous

Run a vote inside a live meeting and watch the tally update in real time, or send the same vote out as an asynchronous decision - members vote over days, the chair closes it on the deadline, the result locks. Same audit trail either way.

  • Open polls inside a live meeting in seconds
  • Async polls for offline / postal-equivalent decisions
  • Members can change their vote until the poll closes
  • Chair (poll creator) controls when each poll closes
  • Results lock on close - no edits after the fact
Audit trail panel - every vote with member name, timestamp, option, IP address

Anonymous when you need it, named when you don't

Choose named voting for transparency or anonymous mode for sensitive decisions. Either way, Kutamo keeps an internal tamper-evident audit trail so the chair (and only the chair) can verify quorum and integrity.

  • Per-poll: named or anonymous
  • Tamper-evident audit trail with timestamps + IP
  • Quorum tracking - warns when below threshold
  • Abstention handling baked into the tally
  • Export the full audit trail as PDF for governance review
'Acting as Bob Smith' toolbar - vote submitted appears as Bob's, audit notes the secretary

Capture every member's vote - even the ones on the phone

Some members dial in. Some attend in person without a laptop. Some are away. The designated Secretary can record their vote on their behalf, with a clear audit-log entry showing who acted for whom. No more "we'll have to chase Marg next week".

  • "Acting as" mode for the Secretary role only
  • Vote attributed to the target member, with audit-log entry for the proxy
  • Members keep their own ability to vote at the same time
  • Works for all three poll types
Live results

Vote counts update for everyone in the room as ballots land.

Inline minutes

Every poll result is automatically captured in the meeting minutes.

Reopen / void

Chair can void and re-run a poll if the wording was wrong - with audit trail.
