External Services

This plugin connects to the dtElection API to fetch poll data and submit votes. This is the core functionality of the plugin – it cannot work without this external service.

What data is sent

• Poll token – When displaying an embedded poll, the plugin sends the poll token to fetch poll details (title, options, current votes).
• Vote data – When a visitor submits their vote, the plugin sends their name, selected options, and optionally their email (if the poll requires it).

When data is sent

• When a page containing an embedded poll is loaded (to fetch poll data)
• When a visitor clicks “Vote” to submit their selection
