Easy to Use

Drop a poll anywhere with one shortcode: [uvpe_poll id="123"] — works in posts, pages, widgets, page builders (Elementor, Gutenberg, etc.), or anywhere WordPress accepts shortcodes.

Standalone & Self-Contained

No WooCommerce required. No external services. No license activation. No phone-home. Free, GPL, and self-contained.

Privacy

This plugin runs entirely on your own WordPress site. It makes no outbound HTTP requests and contacts no external services.

When a visitor casts a vote, the following data is stored in your WordPress database:

The chosen answer ID(s) and the poll ID.
The timestamp of the vote.
The WordPress user ID, if the visitor is logged in.
The visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s IP address, only if you have enabled the IP-based duplicate-vote prevention option on that specific poll. Polls that use cookie-only or “no checks” duplicate prevention do not store IPs.
A short-lived cookie on the visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s browser, only if you have enabled cookie-based duplicate-vote prevention on that poll.

No data ever leaves your site. Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes all stored poll and vote data along with the pluginÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s database tables and options.

Ìgbéwọlẹ̀

Copy the shortcode from the poll edit screen and paste it into any page, post, or widget.

FAQ

Does this require WooCommerce or any other plugin?: No. Unstoppable Voting, Polls & Elections is fully standalone. It works on any WordPress site running 5.8 or newer with PHP 7.4 or newer.
Can I let people vote without logging in?: Yes. Each poll has an Allow guest voters toggle. When enabled, anyone can vote (subject to your duplicate-vote settings).
How do you prevent duplicate voting?: You can choose per poll: cookie-based blocking (basic, works for most sites), IP-based blocking (stricter), both combined, or no blocking at all. Logged-in users are always blocked from voting twice regardless of the setting.
Can I see who voted for what?: The plugin stores user IDs alongside votes (for logged-in voters) so you have a record. The admin Results page shows aggregate vote counts and rankings. Detailed per-vote audit views are planned for a future release.
Can I schedule polls to open and close automatically?: Yes. Each poll has optional start and end date fields. Outside that window the poll wonÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t accept new votes.
Is this suitable for binding elections?: The plugin gives you strong duplicate-vote prevention, scheduling, and audit-friendly result tracking — but whether a digital vote is binding depends on your organizationÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s bylaws and applicable law. We recommend treating online voting as a recommendation tool unless your governing documents explicitly authorize it.
What happens to my data if I delete the plugin?: Deactivating the plugin keeps all your polls and votes intact. Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes all tables and options. There is no soft-delete — back up first if you want to keep your data.
Can I customize the template styles?: Yes. All CSS uses CSS custom properties for easy overriding from your theme. The main accent color can also be changed in Voting Settings.
Can voters change their vote after submitting?: Not yet. Once a vote is cast, itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s locked in. A future release may add a vote-revision window for organizations that need it.
