How voting works
Voting allows participants or a wider audience to cast votes for their favorite projects. This can be used with formal judging or as the only method of evaluation.
Set up a voting group
- Go to the Judging section and click the Voting screen within the Results area.
- Click to create a voting group. This generates a unique voting ballot with its own shareable link.
- Configure the voting permissions:
- Sign in required: Voters must be logged in to your Devpost for Teams organization.
- Email only required: Voters must enter their email address to vote (no sign-in needed). You can also limit this to specific email domains (like YourCompany.com).
- Public: Anyone with the link can vote (no sign-in or email required).
- Choose how projects are ordered on the ballot (like Alphabetical, Randomized, or Custom).
- Set a max voting limit per user (for example, allow each person to cast 3 votes).
- Select which submitted projects you want to include in this voting group.
- Save the group to generate the voting link, which you can then share with your voters.
You can create multiple voting groups (like for different categories) and use a Combined Voting Link to send voters to a page where they can access all the different ballots.
