Student and community priority voting
Clubs, councils, and neighborhood groups make decisions with volunteers, uneven attendance, and strong personalities. Private ranked voting gives everyone an equal-weight say without needing everyone in the same room.
- Good for themes, projects, budget priorities, and shortlists
- Private ballots reduce peer pressure among students
- Not appropriate for official elections requiring verified rolls
Keep the group closed
Invite by link only, set an expiry, and revoke links after the roster is set. A Ravo group never appears in search results or on public Ravo pages, so a school or community group's internal questions stay internal.
Make participation easy
Keep the option list short enough to rank on a phone in a minute, allow partial rankings so people can rank only what they care about, and give a clear closing time.
Explain the method out loud
Show participants how positions become points before they vote. Ranked voting only builds trust when the counting is understandable; Ravo includes the method alongside every result for exactly that reason.
Know the limits
This is a tool for understanding collective priorities. For a binding officer election or anything requiring identity verification, chain of custody, or an audit trail, use a system built for that purpose.
