Welcome to UGA vs FairVote

Orientation at the University of Georgia is a hallmark event for many new students and families. The Welcome to UGA app provides useful information for the New Student Orientation session that students attend as well as campus resources that are available throughout your UGA career. This is a great resource to have at your fingertips to help you access the resources you need when you need them. Transitioning from successful admission to the UGA to your first night on campus can be tough, but the tools available here are set to make your time adjusting to life as a Bulldog, a smooth one.

Picking a restaurant, a movie, a meeting time, or a team name? A simple "most votes wins" often picks something most people didn't actually want. FairVote uses ranked-choice voting (also called instant-runoff or the alternative vote) so the winner is the option the group genuinely prefers. How it works 1. Create a poll with a question and a few options 2. Share it with a link, or let people nearby join instantly 3. Everyone drags the options into their order of preference 4. Close the poll to see the winner, plus a round-by-round breakdown of how votes transferred Why ranked choice? Instead of one vote each, you rank the options. If no option has a majority, the least popular one is eliminated and its votes flow to each voter's next choice. It repeats until something has real majority support, so the result reflects what the whole group can live with, not just the loudest plurality. Built to be simple * No account required — start voting immediately! * Private by design — polls are shared only by link or with people nearby * Clear results with a visual breakdown of every round * Free, with no ads Make your next group decision a fair one.
