How to use an online tally counter
You need to count something as it happens — visitors at a door, laps, rows of knitting or votes. You will count with buttons or keys, add a counter for each thing and copy the totals. Counts are kept in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
On a phone, keep the screen on while counting. Private windows may forget the counts when closed.

Decide how many things you count at once — for example adults and children, or votes for each option. You will need one counter for each.
