Qualtrics - How do you setup a vote to make sure only one vote per person?

Set up a vote so that each person can only cast one ballot

    Start with the settings for the Survey Options

    Make sure you set the survey to By Invitation Only

    1. Survey Options
    2. Security tab
    3. Survey Access
      1.  Invitation only
    4. Prevent multiple submissions (Given that using Qualtrics Panel would often result in only one submission, this setting would provide double protection.)

    Showing where Security tab is third tab down, Survey Access turn on Invitation Only and turn on Prevent multiple Submissions

    Setting Anonymize Responses

    This option takes off the email address, IP address, and GPS Location but you will be able to send out reminders to the people that have not responded.  You can turn on Anonymize Responses before running the reports and downloading the raw data if you wish to retain this information on until the vote is over so you can verify everything.  Once the option is selected, the data is removed and cannot be re-displayed. If you require a list of respondents you can still find a list without identify their responds.

    Emails addresses cannot be Listserv email address.  If you are the owner of the listserv you can download the email addresses that are in the listserv. Please ask the owner of the listserv you wish to utilize to download the list for you if you are not the owner.  If you let Emily Berg know who should be on the list and how it will be utilized, she can also make lists for you.
