I need to create an election and I don't want to see the result before it ends. Can I configure it to only see the result after the voting experience? Can I safely use limeSurvey for this process?

I think I do not understand fully.
You don't want to see the data until the voting is finished?

So neither open the response table nor the statistics nor export the data during the voting process.
Meaning: Activate the survey and forget about it till the end.

It really is a great idea, but for auditing and bureaucracy reasons this suggestion will not be accepted by the board members. Thanks.

Then there is no real chance.
You can encrypt the data, so that somebody who queries the database only sees encrypted data.
You can limit the rights to only one admin, but one admin will always be able to see the data.

But this is the same in real polls.
The people at the polling station can of course look into the ballot box.
Therefore, these people are considered trustworthy and there are several from different parties.
So if you are not considered trustworthy, just say, "Then do it yourself using the ballot paper method."
