    Votes and Voters will be the same for a single answer poll.

    For polls that allow you to choose multiple answers, it will be different. So if a user choose 2 answers, votes will be 2, voter will be 1.

    So I should have more votes than voters…
    Why is it inverted in my poll ?

    I have no idea what happen to your poll. Is this a single answer poll or multiple answer poll?

    2 answers poll:
    Answer 1: 189 votes
    Answer 2: 152 votes

    Total Votes: 341
    Total Voters: 1,016

    Where does 1,016 voters come from ?

    I didn’t get answer 🙁
    I have a “2 answers” poll, and I have currently these statistics :
    – answer 1 : 28 votes
    – answer 2 : 74 votes
    – total votes : 102
    – total voters : 1041

    Why do I have 1041 voters instead of 102 (assuming that voters has voted once) ?

    Sorry I have no idea what you mean. Can you create a fresh poll and give me the URl to the site?
