The reveal: fireworks as Jun 19–20 takes first place, over Jul 10–11 in second and Jul 17–18 in third. A ballot with Jun 19–20 ranked first and Jul 10–11 second, and three dates left to place.

How it works

How to pick a date as a group, step by step

Here's one vote, a family choosing a reunion weekend, screen by screen.

  1. Setting up a vote called Reunion Weekend as a Single Winner vote, with five dates.

    1Step 1 of 5

    List the dates

    Tap Pick a Date on the home screen, name the vote, and type in each option, like “Jun 19–20”. Leave off any date someone already can't make. Then tap Start Hosting.

    Family spread out? With Bestof Unlocked, share a link and keep the vote open for a few days.

  2. The host's room with five people joined: Majestic Akita, Kate, Maya, Owen and Ray.

    2Step 2 of 5

    Everyone joins

    Nearby phones join with one tap, and with a link, people join over the internet from anywhere, on iPhone or Android. When everyone's in, tap Start Vote.

  3. A ballot with Jun 19–20 ranked first and Jul 10–11 second, and three dates left to place.

    3Step 3 of 5

    Everyone ranks, best to worst

    Each person puts the dates in order. That tells you more than a yes-or-no poll: not just who can come, but which weekend people would prefer.

  4. The reveal: fireworks as Jun 19–20 takes first place, over Jul 10–11 in second and Jul 17–18 in third.

    4Step 4 of 5

    Reveal the date

    When the last ballot is in, every phone plays the reveal at once: third place, then second, then fireworks for the date. Send the invites.

  5. Results for Reunion Weekend, with Jun 19–20 winning, Jul 10–11 second, and a consensus meter reading Close call.

    See why it won

    Jul 10–11 got the most first picks, but Jun 19–20 was high on nearly everyone's list, so it's the weekend that suits the most people.
