Dot Voting Board Maker

What is a dot voting board?

A dot voting board places a set of choices beside visible vote markers or totals. It helps a group narrow its options after brainstorming. The result records participant preferences under a stated rule; it does not prove that the leading option is feasible.

When to use it

Use it to shortlist workshop ideas or select retrospective actions when everyone understands the choices. Resolve budget, scope, and eligibility questions before collecting votes.

What to include

1. One decision. State the criterion voters should use so urgency and popularity are not mixed.
2. Comparable choices. Split bundled proposals and remove duplicates before the round starts.
3. Equal allowance. Give each participant the same number of votes and explain whether they can stack them.
4. Real counts. Keep results blank until you have collected votes; do not generate a fictional consensus.
5. An outcome owner. Record who will take the shortlisted idea forward and what happens if options tie.

Build it with MyMap

Give MyMap the options and voting rules to arrange on the canvas. After voting, supply the counts for a results view. The example is a fitness app brainstorm board with idea clusters, a useful starting layout for preparing choices; it does not show a completed vote.
