How to show the voting results

Outlook 365
For some Outlook messages, it can be useful to add Voting to collect your colleagues' or friends' votes (see How to add and use voting button in Outlook).

To show the voting results, do the following:

   1.   Open the original message that you sent (usually you can find it in the Sent folder).

   2.   On the Message tab, in the Show group, click the Tracking button:

Notes:

  1. The Show group doesn't appear until at least one recipient of the email message has replied with his or her vote.
  2. Be patient, this group on the Message tab can appear after a delay (usually after several sessions of Sent/Receive).

    You can run Sent/Receive manually or even restart your Outlook.

  3. Before sending a message with Voting Buttons, check the options of your mailbox, see below in the tip.

   3.   In the opened tracking list, you will see the list of people you asked to vote with their responses:
