PIN-protected voting without voter accounts.
VotePin helps organisers run online polls, competitions and event voting with simple PIN-based access. Voters do not need to create accounts, while organisers still get a more controlled voting process than a basic public poll.
Simple access. More control.
Voters can use a supplied or generated PIN to access a competition, event poll or private voting page.
Why use PIN-protected voting?
A public poll can be quick, but it can also be too open for competitions, club votes, event questions or private groups. PIN protection adds a practical access layer without forcing every voter to register.
Control who can vote
Use PIN-based access so voting is not simply open to anyone who finds a public link.
Keep it easy for voters
Voters can take part without creating usernames, passwords or social media accounts.
Reduce casual duplicate voting
VotePin combines PIN access with one vote per poll controls to make voting more organised.
Works on mobile
Share voting links by QR code, website button, email, social post or event screen.
Useful reports
Organisers can review results and exports instead of manually counting scattered comments or reactions.
Ready for reveals
Use hidden results and reveal tools when the final outcome should be shown at the right moment.

Popular uses for PIN-protected voting
