Our Voting Form Template helps you run elections, award ballots, and community decisions with a simple, structured voting flow: three positions, distinct candidate slates, and an optional write-in.
Why and when to use a voting form
Use voting forms for board elections, staff decisions, community polls, and award ballots where you need a clear, auditable result. Separate questions per position prevent confusion, and the write-in option keeps the ballot fair without extra forms.
Who is this template for
Organizations, associations, committees, and communities running structured votes.
Why SharaForms is the best tool for this form
SharaForms secures votes with authentication options, lets you limit submissions to one per person, and shows the write-in field only to voters who ask for it through conditional logic.

Frequently asked questions about the Voting Form template
Everything you need to know about this template.
- Are online votes valid for official elections?
Validity depends on your governing documents and jurisdiction rather than the software. Many organizations amend bylaws to permit electronic voting, then use exported, witness-verifiable tallies as their record.
- How do I ensure one person, one vote?
Combine controlled link distribution with captcha and duplicate detection, or issue personalized links. For high-stakes elections, pair the form with verification against your membership roll.High-stakes elections pair the form with verification against membership rolls for genuinely defensible integrity.
- Should voters see results while voting is open?
Never during official elections: live tallies suppress later voters and invite bandwagon effects. Reveal results only after close, from a certified export.Certified exports revealed only after close protect election legitimacy from bandwagon dynamics completely.
- How do I create a voting form?
Start from this ready-made template and customize it in the drag and drop builder, generate one from a short text description with the AI form builder, or assemble fields yourself on a blank canvas.

Core features such as conditional logic, calculations, signatures, and all three presentation modes are included at no cost.
