Public results link

Share aggregate poll charts without admin login using an optional public results URL, PIN protection, and the same 3+ unlock rules as the admin app.

threat model

A public results link lets viewers see aggregate charts only: no admin login, no per-person rows, and no submission-order metadata. It is optional and separate from the respondent poll link.

When to use it

  • Town halls or team meetings where you want everyone to see the same charts after enough people respond.
  • Leaders who should see trends without workspace access.
  • Transparency programs where aggregate sharing is part of the plan, not a substitute for admin review when you need cohort filters or exports.

Public results show poll-wide aggregates. Demographic cohort filters and admin-only tooling stay in the signed-in app.

Enable from a published poll

  1. Open the published poll in Polls and unlock your poll keys if prompted.
  2. Find public results controls on the poll detail page (alongside share and distribution tools).
  3. Turn on Allow public results and copy the generated results URL.
  4. Optionally require a results PIN (four or more characters) so the link alone is not enough.
  5. Optionally show the results link on the respondent thank-you page after submit.

Enabling public results wraps the poll decryption material in a viewer-specific blob in your browser before the server stores it. InviziPoll still cannot read plaintext answers. Viewers decrypt aggregates client-side like admins do.

Security notes

  • Treat the URL like a capability: anyone with the link (and PIN if set) can view unlocked aggregates.
  • Rotating or disabling public results invalidates the old link; re-enable to issue fresh viewer material.
  • Public viewers never see individual ballots, access-code linkage, or per-response timestamps.

FAQ

Does this weaken anonymity?
No more than sharing the same charts inside the admin app. The page shows aggregates only after unlock thresholds pass.

Can I use this instead of Viewing results?
Use admin results when you need cohort filters, locked-state diagnostics, or workspace audit context. Use the public link for read-only aggregate sharing.
