A cleaner class vote
A structured form gives every voter the same titles, finalist lists, rules, and deadline.
Use alphabetized, approved choices to avoid misspellings and duplicate versions of names.
Multiple-choice fields keep voting rules visible and answers countable.
Review ballots together or send them to Google Sheets for counts and tie checks.
Choose your voting stage
Choose open nominations, approved finalists, or a complete senior roster.
Collect names and reasons, then clean and screen the shortlist.
Place approved names under each title for countable answers.
List eligible seniors alphabetically with an optional skip choice.
Group a long ballot so students can track their progress.
Ballot workflow
Generate the form around your approved rules, roster, and schedule.
Name the voting stage, approved titles, eligibility rules, and nominee pool.
Verify the roster, alphabetize choices, define titles, and mark required fields.
Publish one link with the closing date and correction contact.
Close on time, apply stated review rules, check close totals, and resolve ties.
Choose a ballot format

Field guide
A useful ballot does more than list funny titles. It defines who may vote, who is eligible, how choices work, and what happens when the voting window closes.
Voter details
Ask only for details needed to apply the voting rules. A school email or student ID helps reviewers spot repeated submissions.
Category design
Keep titles positive, specific, and adviser-approved. A one-line definition gives voters a shared meaning for every category.
Nominee choices
Populate dropdowns or radio buttons from an approved roster. Alphabetical order helps voters find classmates without favoring a finalist.
Voting rules
State the self-vote, required-answer, and submission rules. Visible instructions make later ballot review easier to understand.
Schedule and contact
Show the opening date, closing time, and time zone. Provide a contact for missing names, corrections, or access problems.
Review plan
Before launch, name the reviewers and decide how ties proceed. Keep raw results with the organizing team until announcement.

Practical answers for yearbook advisers and student teams planning nominations and final voting.
It is an online nomination or voting ballot for yearbook titles. Every voter sees the same categories and eligible classmates, while organizers receive structured responses to review.
Include voter details if needed, approved titles and definitions, verified nominee choices, eligibility rules, a respectful-voting reminder, the deadline, and an organizer contact. Decide how duplicates and ties will be reviewed before launch.
Use two rounds when finalists are not set. Collect write-ins, combine spelling variations, review eligibility, and then place approved finalists into structured choices on the final ballot.
State a one-response rule and collect a school email or student ID if appropriate. Review matching identifiers under a rule announced in advance; organizers still decide which responses count.
Yes. Make the title optional or include Prefer not to vote. If every title requires an answer, state that before the ballot and mark each field required.
Choose a rule before seeing results. Your team might recognize joint winners, run a runoff, or use a documented secondary criterion. Apply the chosen method consistently.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting responses with your form. A paid tier is available only if you want to remove the Makeform badge.
Responses can be reviewed in Makeform and sent to Google Sheets. Keep title names stable, limit the tally to designated reviewers, and verify close results before announcement.
Give every senior the same clear ballot.
