Why tick more than one
Pick-one splits a group.
Approval finds the overlap.
Five friends choosing dinner. Asked for one favourite each, two places tie and three people go home with a place they did not pick. Asked to tick everything they would eat, one place comes out clearly: four of five can live with it.
Pick one favourite

Tie at the top: Taco place and Pizza, 40% each.
- Taco place 40% 2 of 5 Below the bar
- Pizza 40% 2 of 5 Below the bar
- Diner 20% 1 of 5 Below the bar
- Thai 0% 0 of 5 Below the bar
the 50% bar · approval rating = share of ballots that approved the option. Percentages are rounded; the bar test uses exact counts.

What is in the box
Built for real rooms, not just group chats.
Voter codes
Single-use codes on a cut-out sheet: one code, one vote. Codes are shown once and stored only as a scramble.
Paper ballots
Print ballots and a tally sheet, then type each paper ballot in so the room and the link count together.
Change of mind
Voters can change their ticks until closing. Close by hand or after 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 1 week or 2 weeks.
CSV out
Every option's count and every ballot's ticks, ready for a spreadsheet or the minutes.

Plain about what it is
- Open links run on trust. One vote per browser; someone set on cheating could vote again from another browser. Use voter codes when it matters.
- Not for public or official elections. Not a certified voting system. If your bylaws set how a vote must run, follow them.
- No accounts, no email, no ads on ballots. Organisers keep a private link; voters keep nothing. Ballots go when you delete them. The public pages carry one labelled banner (see Privacy).
