About Unstoppable Voting, Polls & Elections
From the official readme · v2.0.7Description
Unstoppable Voting, Polls & Elections is a standalone, no-nonsense voting plugin built for the way organizations actually run elections and polls. Whether you’re a non-profit electing trustees, an HOA voting on board members, a school running student government elections, a church choosing deacons, a club picking captains, or a sports league selecting tournament participants — this plugin handles it cleanly. No upsells, no “Pro” lock-in, no third-party services.
Who this plugin is for
- Non-profits, clubs, and associations running officer or board elections
- HOAs and condo boards voting on rules, budgets, and trustees
- Schools and student groups for student government, class polls, MVP voting
- Churches and religious organizations electing deacons, council members, or leaders
- Sports leagues for officer elections and tournament selections
- Businesses and teams running internal polls or decisions
- Anyone running a casual or formal vote on a WordPress site
Five Templates Included (all free)
- Classic Bars — Familiar horizontal bar chart, works on any layout
- Official Ballot — Formal numbered-option look for elections
- Candidate Cards — Photo + name grid, ideal for headshots, team logos, or product images
- Compact List — Sidebar-friendly minimal style
- Tournament — Head-to-head matchups for bracket-style voting
Seven Sort Orders (all free)
Sort options however you need: manual drag-to-reorder, alphabetical (A→Z or Z→A), most votes first, least votes first, random, or by date added. Most competitors paywall these — here they’re standard.
Built-In Vote Integrity
- Block duplicate voting by cookie, IP, both, or none — per poll
- Registered users are always blocked from voting twice
- Toggle guest voting on or off per poll
- Single-choice or multiple-choice with configurable max selections
- Schedule polls with optional start and end dates
Display Control
- Show results: before voting, after voting, only when closed, or admin-only
- Format results as percent, vote count, or both
- Draft polls hidden from the public automatically
Easy to Use
Drop a poll anywhere with one shortcode: [uvpe_poll id="123"] — works in posts, pages, widgets, page builders (Elementor, Gutenberg, etc.), or anywhere WordPress accepts shortcodes.
Standalone & Self-Contained
No WooCommerce required. No external services. No license activation. No phone-home. Free, GPL, and self-contained.
Privacy
This plugin runs entirely on your own WordPress site. It makes no outbound HTTP requests and contacts no external services.
When a visitor casts a vote, the following data is stored in your WordPress database:
- The chosen answer ID(s) and the poll ID.
- The timestamp of the vote.
- The WordPress user ID, if the visitor is logged in.
- The visitor’s IP address, only if you have enabled the IP-based duplicate-vote prevention option on that specific poll. Polls that use cookie-only or “no checks” duplicate prevention do not store IPs.
- A short-lived cookie on the visitor’s browser, only if you have enabled cookie-based duplicate-vote prevention on that poll.
No data ever leaves your site. Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes all stored poll and vote data along with the plugin’s database tables and options.
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/or install via the WordPress plugin directory. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Go to Voting → Add New to create your first poll.
- Copy the shortcode from the poll edit screen and paste it into any page, post, or widget.
Frequently asked questions
Does this require WooCommerce or any other plugin?
No. Unstoppable Voting, Polls & Elections is fully standalone. It works on any WordPress site running 5.8 or newer with PHP 7.4 or newer.
Can I let people vote without logging in?
Yes. Each poll has an Allow guest voters toggle. When enabled, anyone can vote (subject to your duplicate-vote settings).
How do you prevent duplicate voting?
You can choose per poll: cookie-based blocking (basic, works for most sites), IP-based blocking (stricter), both combined, or no blocking at all. Logged-in users are always blocked from voting twice regardless of the setting.
Can I see who voted for what?
The plugin stores user IDs alongside votes (for logged-in voters) so you have a record. The admin Results page shows aggregate vote counts and rankings. Detailed per-vote audit views are planned for a future release.
Can I schedule polls to open and close automatically?
Yes. Each poll has optional start and end date fields. Outside that window the poll won’t accept new votes.
Is this suitable for binding elections?
The plugin gives you strong duplicate-vote prevention, scheduling, and audit-friendly result tracking — but whether a digital vote is binding depends on your organization’s bylaws and applicable law. We recommend treating online voting as a recommendation tool unless your governing documents explicitly authorize it.
What happens to my data if I delete the plugin?
Deactivating the plugin keeps all your polls and votes intact. Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes all tables and options. There is no soft-delete — back up first if you want to keep your data.
Can I customize the template styles?
Yes. All CSS uses CSS custom properties for easy overriding from your theme. The main accent color can also be changed in Voting → Settings.
Can voters change their vote after submitting?
Not yet. Once a vote is cast, it’s locked in. A future release may add a vote-revision window for organizations that need it.
