Political Trustees[edit]
According to the company, their top priority is to remain an impartial service of public research. In order to do this, they have created a group of political trustees and an open transparency policy.
There are currently a few political trustees, containing those of various political parties on the server. If the executive board of Policy Polling makes any major decision about its political polling or analysis, the political trustees will review the decision. These trustees have the ability to overturn decisions made by Policy Polling's executive board.
