Understanding Participation Rates on Polco

Tracking participation rates is essential for ensuring your surveys reach a representative sample of your community. These rates allow you to see who is engaging with your survey and whether you’re capturing feedback from all key demographic groups.

Why Participation Rates Matter

Participation rates help you determine if your survey responses are coming from a diverse and balanced segment of your community. Monitoring this data ensures that your survey captures the voices of underrepresented groups and informs outreach strategies to boost engagement where needed.

Real-Time Participation Data

On Polco, participation rates are available in real-time, allowing you to:

• See who is responding: Track demographic representation (such as age, gender, location) as the survey progresses.
• Identify underrepresented groups: Find out which segments of the community need more targeted outreach.
• Adjust your strategy: Adapt your outreach efforts based on live feedback to ensure a more balanced and representative sample.

How to View Participation Rates
