Reach every resident

Share the link on the town website, in the local newsletter and on social media, and put up the QR code at the place itself: people who use it answer on the spot, with no account.

For people without internet access, offer a paper version at the town hall and enter the answers yourself in the form; make optional the questions people may leave blank on paper. You can also embed the survey in a page of the town website with an iframe.

Report back

Export the responses to CSV to count priorities by neighbourhood and age range. Then publish a summary: residents see that their opinion was read.

The survey collects opinions, it is not a vote. Responses are unlimited, even on the Free plan, so a whole town can answer.

Personal data: the right habits

  • The template asks for no name and no address, and AwesomeFor.ms stores no IP address and no identifier with the response.
  • State in the description who runs the consultation, and what the responses will be used for. Export them to CSV and keep them according to your records rules before deleting the form.
  • Responses are hosted in France, with OVHcloud.

FAQ

Questions about this template

How do I stop the same person answering several times?

An anonymous survey cannot check that. For a consultation, a few duplicates weigh little; present the results as trends, not as a count.

Can I set an end date?

There is no automatic closing: announce the date in the description, and unpublish the form on that day. It then stops accepting responses.

Is the template free?

Yes. It only uses fields available on the Free plan, and every question can be edited, moved or deleted.
