Re-vote in a VK poll: how to cancel and remove a vote in a poll

Social networks have become an integral part of our lives. Modern communication resources are acquiring a large number of different functions and capabilities that are designed to make their use even more convenient. However, sometimes it happens that the next feature of your favorite site is not officially communicated to end users. We have already considered a similar example in the article Secrets of VKontakte. Mentions and responses from other users . Today we’ll talk about another of these opportunities for users of the VKontakte network . We will talk about how to delete a vote in a VKontakte poll , or how to re-vote in a poll .

Official way

Everything here is so simple that the meaning of all other instructions is lost (but we will give them anyway to make the material as complete as possible).

Open an already created survey;
Hover your cursor over the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of the field;

Select the Cancel Voice key;
Ready.

For Android devices

As you noticed, there is nothing complicated here. You can choose any method and use it. Of course, there are other methods, but they are all very similar. Remember one of the suggested methods and use it if necessary.

VKontakte polls represent a very large part of the entire information content of this social network. Thanks to this functionality, users can resolve serious disputes, assess the quality of material published in various public pages, and much more.

When developing this social network technology, the administration did not provide for the standard possibility of changing one’s opinion. At the same time, users often complain that this is extremely necessary for comfortable use of VK. This is especially true for surveys where few people are involved, when the final result can depend on one opinion.

Since the administration of social The VK.com network did not provide a standard option for changing your voice in VK; users were forced to act independently. As a result, several different ways to edit VK polls have appeared, suitable, to one degree or another, for any user.

Having prepared all the necessary software, logged into the VK.com website with your username and password and selected a suitable survey for testing methods, you can begin to resolve the issue.

Method 1: Change the code

We will start with the most difficult method to date of changing the voice in absolutely any VK.com poll. This method consists in the fact that you will need to edit some part of the system code of this social network using a text editor.

To achieve the required result, we act according to a strictly predetermined chain of actions.

Select absolutely any VKontakte poll with your obviously incorrect voice.
Click on the link "Get code"
.
Copy all the text provided to you from the window that opens.
Open any text editor, such as the standard Windows Notepad, and paste the code you copied earlier.
Find a special line of text.
Change the quoted value by adding http: before the double slash "//"
. As a result, the line with the code will take the form of a full-fledged direct link.

src=”https://vk.com/js/api/openapi.js?143″

In your case, this part of the text may look different. All you need to do is add the required characters to the beginning of the code in quotes.

Save the document you just changed through the "File"
, selecting
"Save as..."
.

Where the final file is saved on your hard drive does not matter.

In the file save window, change the “File Type”
to
“All Files (*.*)”
.
Enter absolutely any document name.
After the last character of the name, be sure to put a dot and manually enter the file format “html”
so that you get the following:

filename.html

Click the "Save"
.
Go to the folder with the file you just saved and double-click with the left mouse button to open it.

If necessary, specify the browser in which you want to open.

Once you open the required document, you will find yourself on a page with a survey. Here you can see opinions already left, as well as a button to re-vote.

Click the appropriate button to delete your voice and re-install it.

At the end of all the above actions, you can return to the page with the VKontakte survey and make sure that your opinion has taken the desired side. If something goes wrong, you can try again, the number of which is unlimited.

Before launching the file in the browser, make sure that you are already logged in to the VK website in this Internet browser with the required username and password.

This method, in terms of the actions required from the user, is the most labor-intensive and, perhaps, somewhat incomprehensible to the average VK.com profile holder. It is recommended to resort to this method only if you do not have the opportunity to use more “delicate” and simplified methods of changing your vote in a survey.

Method 2: Third Party Resources

The second method of how to re-vote on VKontakte is based on the principle of operation of the first method, with only one amendment that you no longer have to edit anything yourself. At the same time, you will also be required to take the survey code from the VK.com website.

In general, code is a prerequisite, as a rule, for all possible methods. This is due to the fact that only this text contains all the information about your actions in the survey.

For this method you will also need absolutely any Internet browser.

Find the poll with your incorrect vote and click "Get Code"
.
Copy all text to the clipboard.
Go to , which is both a code editor and an interpreter.

This resource can be replaced with any similar one, the main thing is that the principle of operation is preserved, that is, instant interpretation occurs without any saving.

On the left side of the screen, find the opening and closing “body”
and between them paste the VKontakte survey code you copied earlier.
Next, you need to look at the “Output”
, which is open by default, and click the
“Revote”
using the top panel of the widget.

Quite often, users have a problem when the widget on the right side of the editor has the wrong appearance. More precisely, the VK survey is not fully displayed and does not react in any way to user actions.

When faced with such a problem, you need to click the “Live preview”
located in the upper right corner of the
“Output”
.
After clicking the previously mentioned button, a new tab will open in the browser, which will contain the full version of the desired survey with the ability to change your opinion many times.

This technique does not require any complex manipulation of the code from you - just copy and paste. If you still have difficulties, you can use another third-party resource.

You will also be required to copy the survey code. Do this according to the previously stated instructions.

Unlike the first named resource, the second is Russian-language and much more understandable for the average user of the VKontakte social network.

This method is more simplified and will suit most users of the VK.com social network. Most importantly, do not forget that you are required to use the survey code taken from the VK website.

Via code

Each vote has its own unique code - we will need it to re-vote in a VK poll or to completely remove our vote.

Please note that this method does not always work! As part of the experiment, we tried it on several surveys. It worked in 1 case out of 10.

Move your mouse cursor over the three dots in the corner of the field again;
This time select Get Code;

Copy the resulting combination;

Paste it into your favorite editor - Word, Notepad, etc.;
Find the combination src="in the code"
Insert http after the quotes:

Save the document with the html extension;
Open the file through your browser;
A window with your survey will open - click on the round arrow icon at the top of the window.
Everything worked out!

Now you know how to cancel your vote in a VK poll via a computer using encoding - the method looks complicated, but in fact everything is very easy. Follow the instructions exactly and everything will work out!

By the way! If you want to try voting yourself on your page or in a group, then we have an article on this topic especially for you! Read, be creative, create!

How to create your own poll in VK

If you are interested in a survey, but you see that it is missing some important points. Or you don’t agree with the existing options at all, you can easily create your own and make it ideal. For this:

If you need to create a poll on your page, click in the empty message box (it usually says "What's new?"). Select the “More” option with the arrow at the bottom.
A window will open with options from which select “Poll”.
You will see a expanded window with empty lines to fill.
The first line is the topic of the future survey. Enter the name of the survey, it will act as a voting question.
Next, enter your answer options. By default there are only 2 of them, but if you need more, just select the third window “Add item” with your mouse. This way you can add a large number of options.
At the bottom of the questionnaire there is an “Anonymous voting” item; if you select it, participants will not be able to view the choices of other participants.
Also at the bottom you can select icons for adding various media files. If you need to attach a picture, music or video to your survey, click on the appropriate icon below. The added files appear at the top of the survey.
To ensure that only your friends take part in the survey, click the lock icon next to the “Submit” button.
When the survey is ready and all files have been added to it, check the spelling of the items and the question itself, then click on the “Submit” button. To avoid questions about how to remove or change your poll vote on VKontakte, select the answer items carefully.

“Revote in Polls” app

Here is another way that will tell you how to remove a vote in a VK poll from your computer - you will need to launch a special application:

Go to the Games section;

In the search bar, type Re-vote in polls;
Click Launch;

You will need the code again (how to get it was described above);
Enter it in the central field and click Code entered;
Your vote will load in the window. Click on the three dots and select the Cancel button.

As you can see, it’s difficult to call this option relevant - the cancel key is now in the tool itself. We see no point in launching a separate application for this purpose or manipulating the code.

How to make and submit a survey from a computer

Most users and public administrators use a personal computer when working with VKontakte. It’s convenient, it’s faster, and there are many more functions than in the mobile version.

Create a poll in a group or community

Polls in the group will help increase activity, find out the opinions of users and assess the general situation. To create it, you need:

Scroll down to the message submission form;

Click the “More” button and select “Poll”;

An editing form will appear in front of us.

Now let’s figure out what and where to write or click:

Subject;

Actually, this is the name of our survey. It can be broken down into a couple of sentences, but it’s better not to make it too long.

Answer options;

The minimum number is 1, the maximum is 10. It is better not to write provocative questions, unless, of course, you want the answers to be as honest as possible. As a last resort, make voting anonymous.

Answer options can be added by pressing TAB, Enter or by clicking “Add option”.

Background;

You can choose a design: about 10 options in total + the ability to create your own style by uploading an image of at least 510x200 pixels in size and format: JPG, GIF or PNG.

Settings;

Anonymous survey. By default, those who voted are visible, but if you select this item, only the result and the number of respondents will be visible;

Selecting multiple options. By default, the user can only select one;

Limited voting time. When the timer reaches zero, no one else will be able to vote.

When you are done with the settings, click the “Publish” button and the survey will appear on the community wall.

Create on your personal page

The principle of creation is no different from a community:

Go to your page and scroll to the wall;
Click “More” and select “Polls”;

Fill out all the required fields, configure and click “Publish”.

A slight difference from the settings in public: at the bottom you can click “Visible to everyone” and select “Only for friends” so that no one else can vote.

How to re-vote in VK using third-party services?

To remove your vote from a poll on VK, you can use special services, but first copy the same code.

Jsbin

Go to the resource: https://jsbin.com/;
Remove the text from the left margin and paste your code there;
A survey window will appear on the right;

Click on the three dots again and select Cancel.
Ready.

Toopro.org

Through this service, you can also cancel your vote in voting in VK - first, go to the website at the link: https://www.toopro.org/blog/vkontakte-pere-golosovat-opros-vkcom#;
Paste the code into the box and click the Revote button;

When the voting loads, click on the three dots and click Cancel.

You just managed to re-vote!

Attract new audiences through the survey widget on your website

Use the new VK survey widget on the company website to attract a loyal audience to your groups on social networks.

The survey widget is not imposed on you so that you “go and subscribe”, but it does a great job of demonstrating that you have a live VKontakte page, and the number of voters can be another reputational plus for your piggy bank.

The news media were the first to become interested in the new feature - now they can not only make polls, but also show the audience that they have groups on social networks where they can discuss news and chat live.

New survey format on the Lenta.ru website

From a mobile phone

To change your vote in VK from a mobile phone, you need to open the voting page and long press on your answer - after a couple of seconds it will be canceled. You can now re-vote if necessary.

Previously, in order to remove a vote in voting on VKontakte, you had to use a code, launch applications, and visit additional services. Or open the social network on your mobile phone, because there was no quick cancellation in the computer version. Today, deleting a vote in a VKontakte poll is as easy as shelling pears, and from any device. This once again confirms the responsible and loyal approach of the developers to the desires of their public. By the way, the ability to “re-vote” works both in your own vote and in someone else’s.

Don't forget about anonymity

The rules for surveys have not changed: they can still be made public or anonymous. But the visual has changed - previously, to see who voted for what, you had to go to the poll itself. Now surveys immediately show photos and names of participants, and photos of friends are shown in priority.

Pay more attention to this if you have a page for a psychologist, sex shop, hospital or dental clinic, or something else that your clients don’t want to tell the first person they meet. Take care of your customers and their personal information, make sure that they can vote and get involved in the discussion of some issues without disclosing all their data.

Use of third party resources

If for some reason the previously described method is not suitable, you can turn to the following sites for help: jsbin.com and toopro.org. To work with these services, you must copy the survey code (see the previous paragraph). Then paste it into the input field. For the jsbin.com site, you need to insert the code between the words “ Body ”. Then, in the window that opens, select the desired option or click the “ Cancel vote ” tab.

How to see the results without voting

If for some reason you need to know the results of the survey, but not participate in it, then you can go in three ways. The first is to try opening the survey without authorization by copying the link to the survey and pasting it into the address bar. If this method does not work, then you can leave a vote from another page . But there is a third way. If you have an iOS-based device, then you need to install the latest version of the official application and use the flaw in the program.

To do this, open the post with the survey, then click the “ Share ” button. When you select this option, a window for selecting the audience to whom the post will be sent pops up at the bottom. And in the survey window itself, statistics become visible. But the reliability of this method is low, because developers can pay attention to it at any time and correct a flaw in the code.
