Do my votes count if you don't press the "I am done" button?

Do my votes count if you don't press the "I am done" button?

If so, what purpose does the button serve?

Good afternoon ​@DuaneH,

That is a great question. I created a document to test this, and then shared it with myself in a few private browsers a guests. What I found was that as the “facilitator” who started the voting session, I can see who has voted and how they voted as the other users were voting. What I realized about the “I am done” button is that it is there to indicate to the facilitator that I am complete and won’t be adding more votes. This button serves a purpose to create efficiency and indicate completion to the facilitator, so they can move on. For instance, if I was given 5 votes, but I only use 3, by clicking the “I am done” button the facilitator will know to move on and not wait for me to use my final 2 votes. 

Let me know if you have any additional questions!
