Surveys, Nominations & Voting
Structured ballots on real data — not free-text chaos
Generic survey tools push free-text answers: voters type dance names differently, nominations duplicate the same work under alternate spellings, and organizers spend hours reconciling spreadsheets. BootStepper runs nomination and voting surveys on the same database as dances, choreographers, songs, events, and groups — so every pick is a real record with autocomplete, consistent IDs, and clean results. Organizers define each category with rich filters (for example only dances from a country or excluding one, creation or release date windows, difficulty, and more) so the ballot matches exactly what the program allows. Voting uses free BootStepper accounts so each ballot is tied to a real participant — a stronger barrier to anonymous spam and manipulation than share-link-only polls. Results include admin vote insights: rollups and a filterable vote log so you can inspect outcomes and cross-check integrity by voter, candidate, IP, and browser context.
Open Surveys- Nomination and voting flows built into the platform — no export/import from SurveyMonkey-style tools
- Votes tied to BootStepper accounts (quick to create) — identifiable participation that helps deter spam and coordinated manipulation vs anonymous links
- Rich results for organizers: vote insights with distinct voters, IPs, and browser fingerprints; top addresses and user agents; a filterable vote log to audit who voted for what
- Autocomplete and validation against real dances, choreographers, and other resources — fewer invalid or duplicate votes
- Per-category filters: country include/exclude, choreographer geography, dance creation and song release dates, difficulty, status, tags, and more
- Ballot categories for dances, choreographers, songs, events, or groups — tuned with the same signals as the rest of BootStepper
