Share poll results with residents

Residents want to know that their answers mattered. You can share the results in a newsletter. Sharing has no extra cost.

1. Open the poll results. Select Share results.
2. Check the Results summary. Citizen Loop builds it from the results. It shows totals only, with no names or comments.
3. Write What the city is doing next. Say what was decided, what happens next and when. This field is required.
4. Choose Who sees it:
   • Everyone who was invited
   • Only residents who responded
   • Everyone following these topics, citywide. This needs a poll with topics.
5. Choose to include the results chart and to thank residents who responded. Both are on by default.
6. Select Add to … newsletter. If the poll is still open, select Queue for newsletter after close.
7. The portal asks you to confirm it's you. Enter the code.

Where the results show

• In the newsletter, as its own item with the title "What you told us:" and the poll title.
• On the poll's public page, after the poll closes.
• Printed newsletters show the chart. Phone calls read the summary.

Privacy rules

• Written answers are never shared.
• A question with fewer than 5 answers shows "Too few answers to show".

Change or remove a share

Open Share results again. Select Save changes or Remove from newsletter. You can do this until the newsletter starts to send. A change to an approved newsletter means it needs approval again.

Each poll has one share.
