Dot Voting Form

Prioritize ideas the way a dot-voting wall does, without the sticky dots: everyone spreads 10 dots across the ideas they want most, stacking several on one if they feel strongly. Results add up each idea's dots. Anyone can also suggest an idea that isn't on the list, for the next round. Good for retros, workshops, planning meetings and club priorities. Replace the sample ideas with yours.
