Polls

Getting started with Polls

Standard, scheduling and quiz polls, question types, access and identity settings, and what our servers can see.

Updated 2026-09-27

A poll is one or more questions you share with a link. Polls come in three kinds: standard (any mix of question types), scheduling ("find a time"), and quiz (correct answers and scoring).

Question types

Single choice, multiple choice, ranked choice, rating, scale (Likert), NPS, open text, image choice, and scheduling slots — nine ways to ask, mixed freely on a standard poll.

Who can vote

Choose anyone with the link, invite only (personal links you send), or email-verified (one ballot per verified address). Identity can be named, optional, or anonymous.

Results

Show results live, after voting, after the poll closes, or to you alone. A scheduling poll shows yes/maybe/no per time slot and highlights the best one; finalize turns it straight into a Calendar event and emails an invite to anyone who left an address.

Quizzes

Add correct answers and points per question. Show the score after submit, after the poll closes, or never, and turn on a leaderboard for named quizzes.

What we can see

Polls are guest-facing: to run the page and tally results, our servers can read questions, options and ballots, including voter names and emails when a poll isn't anonymous. Anonymous polls don't record who cast which ballot, though request logs (kept for security) are never linked to a ballot. Details: What we can and cannot see.
