Advice On Recurring Ranked Voting Software (feddit.nu)

At my workplace we have an educational meeting once every week. Anyone can suggest a topic and at the end of every meeting we do a ranked vote on next weeks topic.

Do you have any suggestion on software we could use to simplify this process?

I am looking for the following features:

  • View available topic suggestions
  • Add new topic suggestion
  • Remove topic suggestion
  • Start a ranked vote on the available suggestions (normal vote is OK as well, but ranked is strongly preferred)

It would be extra good if topics availability could be toggled on/off for voting in the case that the person who suggested the topic would not be available to hold the meeting next week, but the topic should still remain as a suggestion. But we can manage without this.

All I am looking for is a low friction available way to set this up and use it once a week. If anyone comes up with at new topic suggestion it should be very simple to just add it to the pool and go back to what you were doing.

I appreciate any advice.

"workplace" sounds like a work environment. In this case, the first tool to consider is something your organisation already use/approved.

Most of the organisation have rules saying what to use for such generic "office" tasks. And this is not just for fun, the organisation must be sure that tool meets local regulations like GDPR, cannot leak corporate data (from emails to shared opinions or topics you internally learn).
