SecurePoll option to email users a copy of their vote on posting
Open, MediumPublicFeature

Description

Author: FT2.wiki

Description:
In a secret poll, users have no way to know what vote was recorded, to check the vote was recorded as they expected, or to confirm the vote was included in the totals.

Without much work, SecurePoll could give users these options:

(X) Email me a copy of my vote on posting
(X) Email me a copy of my final vote when the poll closes

Send to my wiki-email address (X) or to this address _____ (X)

The reason for the first two options is that a user might enter their vote and then change it. They potentially may want a copy sent per post and at close.

Not difficult and will probably be appreciated.

Evaluation:

In general easy, but in case of anonymous votings, we must make sure the form can not be misused for spam
