We all have got accustomed to
voting. Many of us would have voted when the paper ballot system of voting was
followed to select our MLC/MLA/MP in a democratic way. As and when the
technology progressed, we saw the introduction of EVMs which reduced the waiting
time to a considerable extent. The joy of seeing our vote being flashed in the
EVM can only be matched with the joy of seeing the candidate who we supported
win.
Going by the above scenario, we
can safely say that we are well versed with voting. Having said that, we nowadays
come across voting in different formats in different channels. They cover topics
from movies, entertainment, sports, politics and other current affairs. While
some brands have been tried and tested by announcing the results of the polls
conducted by them, many do not do it diligently. Even if they did, when it
comes to announcing the results, they are not backed by actual figures, which
play a vital role in ascertaining as to who has emerged triumphant.
MyVoteToday comes into picture as it has been into voting on social
media for the past 25 months. Founded by Mr.
Amit Bagaria on 26th January 2016, this ePollster has come a long way thrashing
few records. It is already the World's 2nd Largest Social Media Pollster and achieved
this feat in just 16 months.
What has it achieved so far?
The brand has achieved 5 polls with more than 200,000 votes. It also boasts of 34 polls which crossed 100,000 votes.
With 93 polls crossing 50,000
votes, the brand has breached more than 25,000 votes in 224 polls,
which equates to conducting a poll 25,000+ votes once in every 3½ days.
The brand achieved almost 24
million votes on its 2nd Anniversary which equates to 1 million votes a month
or 32,873 votes a day on an average.

MyVoteToday (“MVT”) chooses the
hot/trending topics and runs a survey (usually for 5-6 days) where lot of
