These options allow you to edit the parameters that define the vote type and how the vote results are displayed.

Open or closed vote

An open vote is one in which individual and group results can be displayed. An open vote is only possible if a names file in the Delegate Database module is open. A closed vote is one in which no individual or group results can be displayed, only the total votes cast. To specify the vote type:

• Click on the ‘Open’ or ‘Closed’ radio button in the Preparation window.

A black circle will appear in the selected radio button.

Specifying interim results

It is possible to view voting results while the voting is still taking place. When such interim results are shown they are updated every second. The ‘Interim results’ drop-down list box in the Preparation window determines if, where and in what form interim results are presented. They can be displayed on PCs, delegate units and hall displays. No interim results will be visible on delegate units if the number of answer options is greater than five. There are five choices:

None - no interim results are visible.

Total - only total interim results are visible. They are displayed on the control PC, hall displays and delegate units (if the number of answer options is less than five).

Individual + Total - both total and individual results will be displayed as above.

Total on PC only - only total interim results will be shown solely on the control PCs. After voting

is stopped, it is possible to send the results to hall displays.

Individual + Total on PC only - total and individual interim results will be visible only on the control PCs. After voting is stopped, it is possible to send the results to hall displays.
