Anonymous voting tool

Anonymous voting that removes politics from team decisions

When people know their vote is visible, they vote for what's safe — not what they believe. Chooseday's anonymous voting mode hides individual choices until the deadline, so your team's results reflect reality.

Why group decisions break down

If any of these feel familiar, Chooseday was built for you.

01
The HiPPO effect — highest paid person's opinion wins

Someone senior votes first and everyone else follows. The "group decision" was actually one person's choice with a veneer of consensus.

02
People vote for what sounds right, not what they believe

If votes are public, choosing the unpopular option feels risky. So people conform. Your poll measures social safety, not genuine preference.

03
Sensitive topics get no honest responses

Questions about management, culture, or sensitive team issues produce unanimous fake positivity when votes aren't anonymous. Anonymous voting is the only way to get truth.

How it works

From question to answer in minutes

01
Create a decision and enable anonymous mode

One toggle when creating your vote. Participants see a clear indicator that votes are anonymous, which increases honesty and participation.

02
Everyone votes privately

Votes are collected without linking them to voter identities. No one — not even the creator — can see who chose what while voting is open.

03
Results reveal the group's true preference

When voting closes, aggregate results are shown to all participants. The winner reflects what the group genuinely thinks — not what they thought they should say.

Features

Everything your team needs

Built specifically for group decisions — not adapted from a survey tool.

True secret-ballot mode

Individual votes are never exposed — not to other voters, not to the creator, not to admins. Genuine anonymity, not just a setting.

Results hidden until close

Live results are hidden during voting so no one can see the running tally and adjust their vote to match the crowd.

Mode locked after first vote

Once voting begins, the anonymous mode cannot be changed. No bait-and-switch — voters know their anonymity is protected from the start.

Aggregate results only

After close, you see vote counts per option — never a breakdown of who voted for what. The group's preference is clear; individuals stay protected.

Works for any group size

From a 5-person leadership team to a 200-person company survey. Anonymous voting scales to your entire organisation.

Available on free plan

Anonymous voting is not a premium feature. Every Chooseday plan — including the free tier — includes full anonymous mode.

Use cases

Who uses Chooseday

Teams across every industry — from startups to communities.

Social proof

What teams are saying

The anonymous mode changed everything for us. People started voting for what they actually believed, not what they thought the CEO wanted to hear.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Anonymous voting means individual votes are not visible to other participants or even the decision creator until after voting closes (or at all, depending on settings). It removes social pressure and allows people to vote based on their genuine preference rather than what others might expect.

In fully anonymous mode, the creator only sees aggregate vote counts — never which individual voted for which option. In standard (non-anonymous) mode, the full breakdown is visible to the creator after voting closes.

Research on group dynamics consistently shows that visible votes lead to anchoring bias — people change their choice after seeing what others picked. Anonymous voting removes this effect and surfaces the true preferences of the group.

You set the voting mode when creating the decision. Once voting has started, the mode is locked to preserve integrity.

Yes. Chooseday's anonymous mode is often used for culture surveys, leadership feedback, and sensitive team votes where people need to feel safe expressing an honest opinion.

Yes. In anonymous mode, Chooseday stores votes without linking them to the voter's identity in the results view. The system is designed so that even workspace admins cannot see individual votes.
