Can people vote without downloading another app?

The person who has not installed your planning app still needs a genuine voice in the trip. A browser ballot can remove that hurdle, but only if people understand which link belongs to them and what a public result link can do.

In this guide: Walk through a browser-based ballot and the difference between personal and public links.

1. Send the right type of link

Limbo personal weigh-in links identify the invited voter. They are not generic links to copy into a public post. Someone else using your personal link may act as you, so each traveller needs their own.

2. Read before responding

Open the personal ballot, check the proposal and trip, and choose Yes, No or Abstain. The browser route follows the ballot’s privacy rules. A link is not a reason to skip checking the cost or deadline.

3. Separate voting from sharing the result

A public verdict link is for viewing a result, not a substitute for a personal voting link. If someone cannot access their ballot, fix the invitation or link problem instead of lending them another person’s identity.

Worked example: what this looks like

Fictional scenario—not a real customer story or executed AI result.

A fictional organiser invites relatives who prefer browsers. Each gets their own weigh-in email. One forwards only the general trip discussion to a partner, not the personal ballot. After resolution, the organiser shares the public verdict. The group includes non-app users without creating duplicate or misattributed votes.

Make the decision bookable, not merely popular

A proposal needs a stable meaning from the moment people read it to the moment someone acts on it. Keep the dates, people, total-cost basis and important conditions together. If those facts change, explain the new version instead of silently editing the commitment beneath an earlier response.

Do not confuse three separate stages: an idea is worth considering, the group supports a specific proposal, and the affected people have authorised the booking and their contribution. A ballot helps with the middle stage. It does not verify supplier availability or move money.

Before closing the discussion, write the next action as a sentence with an owner: “Jordan will confirm the exact room arrangement by Thursday, then ask the crew to approve the current booking total.” That is more useful than “sorted”.

A message or brief you can copy

Replace the bracketed fields with your own details. Read the complete text before sending it; copying it here does not send a message or perform an action.

Your personal voting link is in [your invitation/email]. Please do not forward it: it represents your vote. Read [proposal] and respond before [deadline]. If you need your own link or the trip looks wrong, contact [organiser] rather than using someone else’s.

Before you call it settled

• The proposal means the same thing to everyone reading it.
• Hard constraints are handled before preferences are compared.
• Each person chooses their own response; silence is not a payment instruction.
• The actual ballot result and settings are understood.
• A named person owns the next supplier or booking check.

Before sending instructions, read the current browser-voting guide. Keep sample articles free of real personal ballot URLs; a reusable tutorial does not need anyone’s private access link.

Put the decision somewhere useful

Keep the proposal, current terms and next action with the trip in Limbo. Use the relevant help guide below for the actual workflow; the examples above do not create a booking or determine your configured ballot outcome.
