Why make the vote anonymous
In a group chat poll, every vote shows a name. People vote for the book their friend suggested, and whoever votes late sees the majority and follows it. A secret ballot takes both pressures away.
What voters see, and what they don't
Voters open the link and choose. They don't create an account, and we don't ask for a name or an email.
You can keep the score hidden until a person has voted, so the early votes don't steer the late ones.
How the poll ends
You close the poll when you want. If two books tie, you settle it on the spot: a draw between them, or your own call. Say which one before the poll opens, so nobody thinks the tie-break was made to measure.
Four to eight books is the range that works. Past ten, the votes spread and the winner takes two or three.
