Overview​

Civic platforms are incomplete without community voice. I designed a system to attach polls to any resource—leaders, parties, elections, or governments—and record structured public responses.

This post covers how I built a polymorphic poll engine that is:

• Type-safe
• Localized
• Flexible in format (radio/checkbox)
• Easily integrated across the frontend

Overview​

Polling seems simple on the surface—ask a question, tally responses—but in a public-facing, multilingual, political data platform, the requirements grow fast. I needed to build a polling system that was:

• Reusable and flexible (attach polls to leaders, parties, elections, etc.)
• Localized (bilingual support)
• Honest (no spam or duplicate votes)
• Insightful (results usable in trends and analytics)

This post covers how I approached it with NestJS, Prisma, and a clean frontend API.
