Built for public participation

A people's choice award succeeds when as many people as possible take part. Izivote gives voters a fast page that works on any phone, live standings that give them a reason to come back, and a link that travels well on social media. You keep the full leaderboard on your dashboard.

Why Izivote

Why people's choice awards run on Izivote

The same four questions come up for every public vote.

How do we reach the most voters?

One link built for social posts, group chats and hashtag campaigns. Voters open it on any phone and vote in a tap, with nothing to install.

How do we keep it fair?

Open voting is protected against bots and repeat votes from the same browser. For tighter control, ask voters to sign in with email or Google, or limit voting to a list you add.

How do we keep people engaged?

Live standings turn the vote into a race. Fans come back to check the count and rally support for their favorite.

Can the vote help fund the event?

Turn on paid voting and supporters pay for extra votes to back their favorite, with the proceeds helping cover your costs.
