What are polls?

Polls are a quick and interactive way to gather opinions, feedback or preferences from members of your community. They allow you to post a question and provide a list of possible answers for people to choose from — for example, to find out what topics members would like future events to cover, or which community issue they think should be prioritised.

Polls help organisations, project groups and members make decisions together, spark discussion and better understand the needs or interests of their community.

Depending on your platform’s settings, polls can appear in the activities stream, within groups or projects, or on a specific network page. Members can vote directly and often see the results update in real time.
