I need to build a form with a running vote tally included with.

Here is what we are doing. We are holding an election for new members of our academy. I was wondering if you had a form that would help.

Ideally what I would like to have is a notification that tells the voter how many votes that they have cast as they progress through the ballot.

This app might work similarly to what you want: http://www.jotpoll.com/. Here's how it works:

Just select the form, configure the form questions to add into the POLL, then generate a RESULTS URL. You can then use this URL as the Thank you page of the form. In that way, after the form is submitted, the user can take a look at the current standings of the votes.

Here's a demo form: https://form.jotform.com/202946851818061
