FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers about the poll. For the full picture, see how voting works.

Is India's Next PM an official election?

No. It's an independent online opinion poll. It isn't connected to the Election Commission of India, any government body, any political party or any candidate, and voting here has no effect on any real election.

Do the results predict who will become Prime Minister?

No. The results only show how visitors to this website voted. Anyone can take part, so they aren't a scientific or nationally representative survey.

Do I need an account to vote?

No. There's no login or registration, and we never ask for your email address or phone number. You only give a name or nickname to show publicly.

Why do you ask for my name?

So that voters can see their name celebrated and appear among recent voters. It's public, so use a nickname if you prefer. Your name is shown without your choice.

Can I vote more than once?

The poll is designed for one vote per person, and your browser is remembered after you vote. This can't be guaranteed without checking who you are, so repeat voting is discouraged rather than impossible.

Can I change my vote?

No. Once a vote is counted it can't be changed from the website, so please choose carefully.

How often do the results update?

Vote totals update live for everyone on the website, without a refresh. Names of recent voters update separately, about every 15 seconds.

Why are only these candidates listed?

The poll lists a small number of well-known leaders to keep it simple. Being listed doesn't mean a person has endorsed this website or taken part in it.
