Your choice joins the totals straight away.
Published newsroom questions have shared, server-stored vote totals. There are no prefilled sample questions or participation counts. Voluntary participation is not a representative opinion survey.
No name is displayed with your choice. Personal drafts stay in your browser. Article polls store votes on the server using a hashed browser identifier. Neither verifies unique people or provides cryptographic anonymity.
Today, you can revisit your locally saved vote in My activity. Blockchain verification is planned.
The proposed design uses Base, a Solidity contract and Merkle proofs. A private receipt would let you check that your participation was included in a recorded batch.
Public records would contain batch commitments, not names or raw votes. This detects changes to committed records but does not independently prove unique participants, complete inclusion or a correct initial tally.
Base Sepolia testing is planned first. Article polls use a shared database, but no votes are currently recorded on a blockchain.
