Pollpercentage onjuistheid!

Hi there!

We ran a poll in our forum for members to vote on the meetup topic, and I noticed that the percentage isn’t calculated correctly.

There are five options, and only three voted, but the percentages appear as ‘34%’, ‘33%’, ‘33%’, 0,0. Why does one option have 34% when it has just one voter like the other two options?

Here’s a screenshot:

I don’t know if we can reproduce this as it needs to be limited to one voter per option, but here’s the code:

[poll type="regular" results="always" public="true" name="lmis-poll-1" chartType="bar" dynamic="true"]
# **Which LMIS topic are you most interested in?**

* The batch/expiry Management Feature that will be Integrated in the RTS (Real Time Stock) app (Demo from Comoros implementation)
* Reviewing the newly published WHO NTD guidance and DHIS2 LMIS demo instances
* Workflow Integration with a central eLMIS
* Preview of the temperature monitoring integration, linked to the Cold Chain Equipment tool
* I will reply with my suggestion

I think the most likely reason this could be happening is that 100% cannot be divided by 3, and will give 33.333333333…%. So it has 2 33%s (66% altogether), and 34% as the last one.

Also yes, it is here on Meta too.

Bedankt! Ja, dat realiseer ik me, maar wat als dit een wedstrijdstemming was en er moest een winnaar zijn (of een gelijkspel), maar hier zou in plaats van een gelijkspel iemand willekeurig als winnaar worden geselecteerd.
