Advanced Module: Voting

The advanced 'Voting' module supports the process of conducting a completely anonymous vote, with all paradata turned off and without any possibility of linking data to email addresses and other identifiers.

The module allows sending invitations within the 1KA system, but only the information that the invitation has been sent is recorded, not the status (whether the person has opened the poll, whether they have responded).

To use the 'Voting' module, click 'Voting' in the left hand side menu in the 'EDIT' - 'SETTINGS' - 'Advanced Modules' tab, then select the checkbox to enable the module.

The questions you want to include can be edited in the 'EDIT' - 'Questionnaire' tab.

The recipients of the invitations and the message to invite respondents to the poll can be edited in the interface for sending invitations in the 'PUBLISH' - 'Invitations' tab.

  1. First, edit the mail server settings.
  2. Add recipients.
  3. Format the message and send it.

Specific features when using the Voting module

  1. Once you have enabled the 'Voting' module, it is no longer possible to disable it. If you want to carry out a normal survey and you have accidentally switched on the 'Voting' module, then a new survey (or a copy of the current survey) must be created.
  2. When sending invitations, personalised invitations (codes) are used, but these are personalised for the purpose of sending invitations only. Invitation settings (manual entry, access without code, etc.) cannot be changed.
  3. The overview of added recipients only contains information on whether the invitation has been sent, when the recipient was added, who added them and which list they are in. There is no information on the status of the respondent in the overview.
  4. The last step shows all e-mail addresses to which the invitation has not yet been sent. If you would like to send a reminder, this means that you have to add the same recipients again and send them the invitation. However, this means that the person can complete the survey twice (if they receive the invitation with the link to the survey twice). If you send to the same email addresses multiple times, each entry from the same recipient will be recorded as a new entry.
  5. Once the invitations have been sent, linking between the email address and the respondent's answers is not possible.
  6. If the 'Voting' module is enabled, the respondents' access settings and the settings of the paradata cannot be changed. By default, the settings are arranged so that no paradata is recorded and no cookies are stored, which allows a fully anonymised survey to be carried out.

The functionality is available for users of the 3KA package for individuals, and for users of the business packages for groups.


Adding a New Standard Words Language

1KA currently supports 43 different world languages. This means that standard words (such as 'Next page') will be automatically translated into the language of your choice. The corresponding script (e.g. Cyrillic, Greek, Chinese, Arabic, etc.) is also automatically enabled.

To use different languages in your survey, navigate to the 'EDIT' - 'Settings' - 'Basic settings' tab and click the 'Multilanguage surveys' button in the 'Language' settings section. On this page, you can translate the survey into different languages.

The translation interface can also be accessed via the globe icon Icon (globe) to access language interface at the top right of each survey. 

If you would like to add a language that is not on the list of languages, first download the template file here. Translate all the mentioned standard words into a new language and send us the file via the form. The service is chargeable (1 programming hour according to the published pricelist).


The functionality is available for users of the 2KA and 3KA packages for individuals, and for users of the business packages for groups.


Granting Survey Access to 1KA Helpdesk

Protecting user data is one of 1KA's top priorities. Access to data is limited to the author (editor) of the survey and additional co-editors, which are added by the author of the survey.

1KA's helpdesk and the website administrator of www.1KA.si do not have access to surveys and data without the explicit consent of the user.

In case the user requires assistance from 1KA’s administrators, the user must grant temporary access to 1KA's helpdesk (until the issue is resolved). Despite granted access, administrators are still committed to the highest standards of privacy protection, as defined in the Terms of Use.

Each survey has an icon in the top left corner which enables you to grant access to 1KA's helpdesk and administrators. You have to click 'Grant access to help centre'.

The author can add co-editors in the tab 'EDIT' – 'Settings' – 'Editor access'.
