Can Ballots be made anonymous?

It's important to note that ballot votes are not anonymous. While you have control over who can view the ballot results, the name of each voter will be visible. This ensures transparency in the voting process, but it means that voter submissions are linked to the individual who cast them, rather than remaining anonymous.

Commenting on a Ballot

MangoApps offers the ability to comment on ballots without voting on them.

Click on a ballot you can want to comment on.

Type in a comment, then click on Comment.
