Quick Polls are one-question surveys that make it easy for you to ask questions to your Community and get fast feedback. In a Quick Poll, you can ask one question to your Members and offer up to five answer options. Once you create a Quick Poll, you can post it to the News Feed so that members can respond. After members have responded to your Quick Poll post, you can view the details and results and have the option to broadcast them to your Community.
Image or text?
There are two question types to choose from.
Multiple Choice option works best for pulse surveys and quick questions that don’t need visualization.
Multiple Choice (Image) can be used when you need to illustrate the answer options in your question. Some ideas include allowing your members to vote on new branding, a new product line or even a guess the baby photo competition!

Tips and tricks
- Keep your question (Max Characters: 150) and options (Max characters 30) short. If you feel you are getting close to the character limit, a survey may be a better option.
- In Multiple Choice (Image), the text you use in the option will be what a screen-reader user relies on in order to participate in the poll so be sure to make use of them. If you don’t add a value for an option we’ll default it to “Option 1”, “Option 2” and so on.
- In Multiple Choice (Image), add a png, gif, or jpg image file (5 MB or less).The recommended image dimensions are at least 480x360 with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
- Once you click Publish, your Quick Poll post cannot be edited, even if it’s set to be published at a future date. If you want to edit your post in the future, click Save instead of Publish.
