Quick Vote runs a ranked-choice vote (also called instant runoff) in minutes. Voters rank the choices: first, second, third. The app counts the votes and shows every round. There is no sign-up, and it works with no network after the page loads.

Quick Vote is a free web app that lets a group choose between options fairly. Each voter ranks the options in order. The app then counts the votes with instant-runoff voting, and shows each round of the count, so everyone can see how the winner came about.
Teachers use it for class votes: a project topic, a field trip or a party menu. Clubs, teams and youth groups use it to choose a name, a date or a prize. There is nothing to install and no account to make. The tap-to-rank screen is simple enough for young voters, and the booth host stays in control.
Because a vote moves to the next choice, similar options do not split the vote, and a voter never has to guess a "safe" choice. Read the full guide with a worked example.
A single-booth poll runs on one device, such as a classroom tablet or a laptop. Nothing leaves the device, and it works with no network after the page loads. The person who makes the poll sets a password to close voting and show the result.
A multi-booth poll lets many groups vote at the same time, each on its own device. A voting centre that you set up (on Cloudflare, or on your own server) adds up all the votes. A group with a weak signal can vote offline. The booth sends its votes when the signal returns. A group that cannot use a device can count hands, and a host enters the totals.
You can run the voting centre on a school server or any computer with Docker or Podman, with no Cloudflare account.
A ballot holds only the ranking, the group name and a random booth ID. It holds no voter name and no time of day. Quick Vote has no accounts and no tracking. A single-booth poll never sends anything to a server.
No. A voter taps the choices in order and presses "Cast my vote". The booth host runs the device.
A single-booth poll works with no network once the page has loaded. A multi-booth booth needs a signal when the host first opens it. After that, it saves votes on the device and sends them when the signal returns.
Yes. Quick Vote is open source. A multi-booth poll needs a voting centre that you run on Cloudflare. The free plan is usually enough for classes and clubs.
Yes. A choice can have a photo, or only a name. A choice with no photo shows only its name.
If two choices tie for the fewest votes, the count looks at the earlier rounds to decide which one is out. If every earlier round is equal, the choice that is last in the list is out. If all the remaining choices tie, the result is a tie. The round-by-round view shows each step.
The code is on GitHub. The repository has a guide to set up your own voting centre, and a guide for people who want to contribute.
