Percentage in ranking polls

Hey @Giovanna , 

This is partially available with our Ranking Poll, but there is not a way for example a Multiple Choice poll to have a certain percentage indicated by the participant to submit their response as.

We will submit this as a feature request for future consideration.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best,

​@Carly from Slido What do the current numbers mean?

Hey ​@Strategyteam , I responded to your other comment but will post the same response here in case it comes up in future searches!

Please see the below section from our Ranking Poll help article (also hyperlinked for future resources).

How we calculate the scores

With the ranking poll, participants essentially give points to each option. The higher someone ranks an option, the more points it receives. Using an example of participants needing to rank 3 options, the option ranked first receives 3 points, the second gets 2 points and the third gets 1 point.

Once voting is over, we count up these points for each option and divide it by the number of people who participated in the ranking poll. This gives us an average score for each option and the option with the highest score is the most preferred one.

Example:

• There are 3 people (A, B, C) participating in a poll that consists of three options (X, Y, Z)
• Person A submits the options in the following order: X, Y, Z
• Person B submits the options in the following order: Y, X, Z
• Person C submits the options in the following order: Y, X, Z
• Option X receives 7 points (3 + 2 + 2); Option Y receives 8 points (2 + 3 + 3); Option Z receives 3 points (1 + 1 + 1)
• Average for Option X is 2.3 (7 divided by 3); Average for Option Y is 2.7 (8 divided by 3); Average for Option Z is 1 (3 divided by 3)
• The final order of Options is the following: Y (2.7); X (2.3); Z (1)

In case a participant does not rank all the options, the one they did not pick automatically receives 0 points.
