Frequently Asked Questions
How can I share this survey with town hall attendees?
Display a QR code at the meeting venue, include the link in meeting announcements, email it to registered attendees, post on the city website, and share on social media. Consider providing tablets at the exit for immediate feedback.
Should I require identification to submit feedback?
Generally, anonymous feedback gets more honest responses. However, if you need to follow up on specific concerns, you can optionally collect contact information. Balance transparency with accessibility.
How do I handle critical feedback about city officials?
View criticism as constructive input. Share aggregated feedback (not individual responses) with officials, focus on actionable improvements, and respond publicly to common concerns in future meetings.
Can this form work for virtual town halls?
Yes! The form includes questions about virtual participation quality. Customize the attendance type options and add platform-specific questions as needed.
What's the best way to act on this feedback?
Create a summary report for city council, identify top 3 improvement areas, address concerns in the next meeting, and publish a 'You Said, We Did' response to show citizens their feedback matters.
