Preventing Survey Abandonment

How Poll The Vote’s proprietary survey system will improve survey completion rates

By Delia Holman, Technology Intern with Ideologix Insights

Raise your hand if you never want to be bothered with filling out endless demographic details about your persona when taking surveys just to be able to share your opinion. You know….your age, gender, address, ethnicity, etc. 

For decision-makers needing the survey results, imagine experiencing a surge in response rates as participants dive straight into providing valuable feedback and perspectives and don’t have to provide personal details that few gladly want to turn over such as; income, education level, marital status, gender identity, etc.

If either of these benefits resonated with you personally and/or as a decision maker, let’s talk about how the new Poll The Vote communications channel will help to improve the survey experience, decreasing survey abandonment rates; and leading to increased completion rates.

What Causes Survey Abandonment

Have you ever taken a survey and noticed that half of the questions weren’t about the survey’s topic at all? You’re not alone. According to Cint.com, about 70% of surveys are abandoned before completion, often caused by poor survey usability. Long, tedious, and irrelevant questions frustrate respondents, leading them to quit halfway through. This abandonment rate is a significant problem for researchers, businesses, community leaders, and policymakers who rely on these surveys to gather critical data. This high abandonment rate results in losing potentially key information from the desired population, which is crucial for making informed decisions, particularly in the context of elections and public opinion polling. When respondents drop out, the data collected becomes skewed, incomplete, and less reliable, undermining the survey’s overall validity and usefulness. (Cint.com)

Poll The Vote’s Proprietary Survey System

Introducing Poll The Vote, a comms channel designed to better facilitate communication between us as individuals and our decision-makers.  Its key offering is how the Poll The Vote survey system will eliminate these survey-taking hassles and make surveys more beneficial to both the survey-taker and the survey-creator. Poll The Vote allows you to create a profile where you only have to answer these repetitive questions once. Every survey you take will record your answers to these questions from your profile, so you only have to respond to the questions that really matter to you.

For Candidates & Elected Officials

The Poll The Vote comms system was originally created to support elected officials and candidates running for office to connect them with their constituents beyond election night, quickly and in real-time. Gone are the days where reliance upon poll sizes of 500-2500 individuals are expected to represent an entire sector of people. Poll The Vote allows confirmed officials to create polls so they know exactly what the people voting for them think and not just on the day of the elections. The system allows decision-makers to send anonymous surveys to targeted followers and just ask the key questions needed. The Ideologix Insights data analytics laboratory will provide insight reports at the conclusion of the survey window summarizing the results including an identity picture of the participants based on their demographic and geographic data captured at account creation. By targeting the right audience and eliminating unnecessary questions, officials can gather more accurate and meaningful data from each of their constituents in real-time, helping them to understand and address the needs and concerns of everyone who chooses to participate.
