Methodology and Limitations

We conduct polls during elections in all countries where we have a substantial presence. Our method is known as a self-selecting sample. We send an in-app message with a participation link to all users in a given country. Anyone interested can participate anonymously. We only ask about age and voting intentions, and we do not connect responses to ROMEO profiles. While we don’t share the links elsewhere, we cannot rule out the possibility that others might. However, our survey partner is taking measures to prevent multiple submissions.

We want to emphasize that our method is common but generally not suitable for making statistically robust election predictions. Additionally, the large group of lesbians is not represented on ROMEO. Still, thanks to our broad reach across all layers of society and the high number of participants, we believe we can provide an impression of the preferences within the gay community.

Lastly, we ask for your understanding that we don’t offer any interpretation or show preference for particular outcomes. While we do have private opinions, we see our duty as acting as neutral ambassadors for all our users. Our only advice: Go and vote—make use of your voice.

Happy Voting!
Your ROMEO Team
