How the
voting
worked

  • Each month, from 29 March to 30 September 2012, we polled five topics on this website. Visitors were asked to vote for topic/s that mattered to them. Visitors could vote only once for each of the five monthly topics, but could vote for all five topics in one month. Topics remained accessible on the site until the end of the voting period on 30 September 2012.
  • Statistics are based on the total number of votes received for a particular topic, out of the total number of people polled on those five monthly topics. As visitors to the site could vote for more than one topic, the percentage values will not add up to 100 percent.
  • Visitors IP addresses were used to identify the location of votes.
