wpForo Polls

Polls give forum members a way to gather opinions and feedback directly in topic discussions. Members can add polls when starting topics, set voting options, and collect responses from the community. Polls support single-choice or multiple-choice voting, with controls for the maximum number of choices.

Forum administrators can manage who creates polls, votes, and views results through wpForo user group and forum-specific permissions. Polls can close after a set period, and results can stay hidden until the poll ends or until a member votes. A Recent Polls widget can display active polls around the forum. Poll layouts are responsive and support right-to-left languages.
