Configuring the presentation of the results in the Live Voting Cockpit</strong></h2><p>After each vote, you can display the results to your voters in the Live Voting Cockpit. After you have finished a vote and it has been counted, you will find a slider symbol on the right in the “Results” tab. Clicking on the symbol opens a modal dialog, which you can use to customize the display of the result.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-medium float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6034140/uploads/9R718PR632FO/presentation-results.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6034140/uploads/9R718PR632FO/presentation-results.png" alt="presentation-results.png" height="703" width="598" loading="lazy" data-display-size="medium" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <p><em>The modal dialog “Results display“ in the Live Voting Cockpit.</em></p><h3 data-id="more-about-the-results-display-in-the-live-voting-cockpit"><a href="https://community.polyas.com/english/kb/articles/228-start-votes-in-the-polyas-live-voting-cockpit" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc"><strong>More about the results display in the Live Voting Cockpit ></strong></a></h3><h3 data-id="2.1.-configuration-options"><strong>2.1. Configuration options</strong></h3><p>Depending on how you configured your ballot paper, the following can be set:</p><ul><li>Display of results in absolute and percentage numbers</li><li>Selection of different base counts for the percentage results (e.g. all valid ballots, possibly with invalid votes, blank votes, abstentions)</li><li>Show or hide certain values when presenting the results (e.g. turnout, invalid votes, blank votes or abstentions)</li><li>Show and hide majorities/quorums</li></ul><p>Please note that depending on the ballot type and configuration, some options for the result configuration are not available and are therefore not displayed. The appearance of the modal dialog “Results display” varies accordingly.</p><h3 data-id="2.2.-base-count"><strong>2.2. Base count</strong></h3><p>The base count defines the basis for your results display. Also, the base count selected affects the percentage results, the bar chart, and majorities.</p><p>For the base count, you can choose between “Eligible voters” and “Valid ballots cast”. With the latter, you can also adjust the base count by adding further options, such as the ballots cast.</p><h3 data-id="eligible-voters"><strong>Eligible voters</strong></h3><p>If you select “Eligible voters” as the base count, the results are calculated on the basis of all potential voters on this ballot. This number can differ from the total number of voters due to the definition of voter groups.</p><h3 data-id="valid-ballots-cast"><strong>Valid ballots cast</strong></h3><p>If you select “Valid ballots cast” as the base count, the results are calculated using all valid, non-blank ballots cast.</p><p><strong>+ marked invalid</strong></p><p>In addition to the valid, non-blank ballot papers, all of the ballot papers marked as “invalid” by selecting the checkbox are counted towards the base count.</p><p><strong>+ invalid due to voting rule violation</strong></p><p>If you select this, then the base count includes not only the “Valid ballots cast” but also those ballot papers for which too few or too many votes were cast per ballot paper, list, or voting option, thus violating the voting rules.</p><p><strong>+ abstentions</strong></p><p>In addition to the “Valid ballots cast”, all abstentions cast by means of the checkbox are counted.</p><p><strong>+ cast blank</strong></p><p>Ballot papers on which no votes have been cast are considered blank. If the minimum number of votes was set to 0, the blank ballots are not counted as invalid but added here. If a value > 0 (e.g. 1) was set as the minimum number of votes, a blank ballot violates the voting rules, which is why it is only counted as “invalid due to voting rule violation”.</p><p>Note: The default selection here is “Valid ballots cast”/ “+ marked invalid” / “+ invalid due to voting rule violation” / “+ abstentions”/ “+ cast blank”. </p><h3 data-id="2.3.-statistical-values"><strong>2.3. Statistical values</strong></h3><p>All statistical values you have selected are shown in the results display above the results table or the results diagram. This offers your voters more information about the results. You can show or hide the following values:</p><ul><li>Number of eligible voters</li><li>Ballots cast</li><li>Turnout in %</li><li>Invalid due to voting rule violation</li><li>Marked as invalid</li><li>Marked as abstain</li><li>Cast blank</li></ul><p>If you do not want to display statistical values, you can deactivate them using the main controller.</p><p>Note: By default, all values are shown here except for “Cast blank”. If you have not activated the options for marked as invalid or abstention in the ballot-paper settings, these two values will not be displayed as options. For your security, “invalid due to voting rule violation” and “cast blank” are also displayed even if an invalid (or blank) vote is technically prevented by our system.</p><h3 data-id="2.4.-quorums-majorities"><strong>2.4. Quorums & majorities</strong></h3><p>Under “Quoras and majorities” you can display the majority or quorum required for this vote according to your election regulations. You can choose between:</p><ul><li>Absolute majority (>50%),</li><li>Two-thirds majority (≥ 66.66%)</li><li>or 75% majority (≥ 75%).</li></ul><p>You can specify where this is displayed, i.e. with the statistics, as a vertical line in the diagram, or both. If you do not want to display quorums or majorities, you can deactivate them using the main controller.</p><p>Note: Depending on the ballot type and configuration, the calculation and display of quorums and majorities may not be possible (see Chapter 4).</p><h3 data-id="learn-more-about-quorums-in-our-election-glossary"><a href="https://www.polyas.com/election-glossary/quorum" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">Learn more about quorums in our election glossary ></a></h3><h3 data-id="2.5.-results-display"><strong>2.5.

Table or bar chart display</strong></h3><p>The basic version of POLYAS Live Voting lets you choose between displaying the results to your voters as a table or bar chart. You set this in the Live Voting Cockpit after the votes have been counted by clicking on the respective ballot paper and then on “Results”. On the right-hand side above the results you will find icons for a table and a bar chart.
