Methodology
Voting privacy
We separate who took part from what they chose. Public pages show only the totals, never individual votes.
Participation checks help prevent the same account from voting again.
Suspicious patterns can trigger limits, review, or removal.
The public result does not show who chose what.
A fair poll starts with one real vote per person
Pluria is built so one person, one bot, or one fake account network cannot easily drown out everyone else. Before a vote is accepted, the app checks whether the account is eligible to participate and whether that account has already voted on the poll.
At the same time, Pluria does not turn public opinion into a public list of personal choices. We protect the result and protect the person answering.
How private voting works
Check that you can vote
The app confirms you’re signed in and allowed to take part in this poll.
Give you one vote
Pluria records that you took part and only lets you vote on this poll once, so the same person can’t vote again.
Send the answer separately
Your answer is sent in a way that doesn’t link it back to your account, so no one can connect a name to a choice.
Count the accepted vote
The public result updates with totals and percentages only. People see what the crowd chose, never a list of who chose what.
How Pluria prevents duplicate voting
Pluria records participation because a poll result has no meaning if the same account can submit the same question repeatedly. That participation record helps power the "you voted" state and protects the result from repeat submissions.
Abuse prevention does not stop at one check. Pluria also uses account signals, verified contact methods, device and traffic patterns, rate limits, reporting, and moderation review to respond when activity looks fake or coordinated.
What this means for you
You can only vote once
Pluria remembers that your account already voted on a poll, so you can’t vote again.
Bots don’t get a free pass
Automation, suspicious traffic, replay attempts, and abusive patterns can be blocked, throttled, or sent for review.
Your answer stays private
Public pages show the totals only — never a list of who chose what.
The result stays accountable
Counts, status, publisher context, and methodology links help readers understand the result before they share it.
Why NGOs, publishers, and communities need this balance
A useful public poll needs two things at once: people must feel safe answering freely, and the organization reading the result must know the outcome was not simply flooded by duplicates or automation.
Pluria is built around that balance. Your vote stays private, the public result shows totals only, and we keep working against the behavior that would make the result less trustworthy.
What this does not mean
Pluria is a public opinion platform, not an official government election system or a full anonymity network. We are direct about that because credibility matters. See Methodology for how Pluria explains result strength, review states, and interpretation limits.
