# Overview

<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->

## What it does

Live Poll lets editors publish locale-specific single-choice questions with stable options and live aggregate results. Vote insertion and counters update together so duplicate races remain idempotent.

## Do I need to do anything?

Add the widget to a page in Layout Builder, complete its fields, and preview the public page before publishing.

## Where it shows up

In Layout Builder, as a Live Poll widget. Public visitors explicitly start the session, vote once per poll identity, and see aggregate results.

## Good to know

- This free beta extension belongs to Capell Foundation and requires Layout Builder.
- Voter identity is an HMAC rather than a stored cookie value or IP address; vote responses are private and aggregate results use a short public cache.

## Screenshot status

Capture the poll fields and a public voted state with the selected option and aggregate result bars visible. The committed Marketplace card is interim beta artwork until these two fixture captures are recorded.
