What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables real-time voting apps to securely tally votes and publish live tallies across channels, reducing latency and avoiding data loss during high-throughput events.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server-side vote validation: PubNub Functions intercept votes, validate, deduplicate, and tally atomically.
  • Live tally broadcasting: Results pushed to poll.<pollId>.results with throttling and accurate totals.
  • Poll lifecycle management: Created -> open -> paused/closed -> finalized with admin, meta, and results channels.
  • Use Case: Live audience polls during conferences, sports events, or large broadcasts with anonymous or identified voting.

Quick Start

Create a poll through the admin UI or SDK and connect a participant client to the poll's results channel to observe live tallies.

How do I build a real-time voting system that handles high-throughput events without losing data?

Build real-time voting systems by intercepting votes with server-side validation and broadcasting live tallies through PubNub Functions, using atomic counters to securely tally votes and reduce latency without data loss during high-throughput events.

How does PubNub Functions validate and deduplicate live poll votes?

PubNub Functions validate incoming votes server-side and apply KV Store-based deduplication to ensure vote integrity, intercepting each submission to securely tally votes and prevent duplicate entries across active polls.

Can I manage a multi-round elimination poll lifecycle with real-timePubNub channels?

Manage poll lifecycles through dedicated PubNub channels by transitioning polls from created to open, paused, closed, and finalized states, while utilizing admin, meta, and results channels for multi-round elimination broadcasts.

What's the best way to broadcast live poll tallies to large audiences with accurate totals?

Broadcast live poll tallies by pushing results to a dedicated poll results channel with built-in throttling, ensuring large audiences receive accurate, real-time total updates without overwhelming the network during events.

Does this real-time polling approach support both anonymous and identified voting for live broadcasts?

Real-time polling supports both anonymous and identified voting for live broadcasts, applying server-side validation via PubNub Functions to securely tally votes across large audience events.

How do I prevent duplicate votes in a real-time audience poll?

Prevent duplicate votes in real-time audience polls by utilizing KV Store-based deduplication within PubNub Functions, intercepting each vote server-side to securely tally only unique submissions.
