Quick polls

Where does the island stand?

Vote once, see the running results, and pass it on. These are straw polls — a conversation, not a forecast. The only results that count are GEC's in November.

How these polls work. One vote per device — to stop repeat voting we set an anonymous token, keep a one-way scrambled network hash, and note the country and region a vote came from. Nothing here can identify you (details). Candidate lists come straight from the official GEC ballot, every candidate race includes “Still deciding,” and option order reshuffles daily so nobody owns the top slot (the 30-name Legislature list is alphabetical so you can find names). A new set of polls opens each month and the last month's numbers stay up, final and unchanged. These are self-selected internet polls: fun, honest, and not predictive of anything.

New polls open soon

This month's polls are being finalized. Last month's final results are below.
