Set up a poll and see the results

Creating a poll takes a minute. With the right settings, you also get an answer you can actually use. How to create a poll is in Share news and run a poll. Here’s everything you can set.

Two kinds of polls

• Regular Poll: members choose from answers you provide, for example Which piece do we play as an encore?
• Date Poll: members choose the dates that work for them. Handy for an extra rehearsal or a board meeting.

The settings

• Anonymous voting: while the poll is open, you don’t see who voted what.
• Public vote results: members see how others voted once the poll closes.
• Allow multiple answers: members may choose more than one answer.
• Allow votes to be changed: members may change their answer later.
• Show results during voting: members see the current results before the poll closes.

The results

1. Open the Club tab, choose Polls and open the poll.
2. You see how many votes each answer got. With View vote you see who voted what (except in an anonymous poll).
3. Under Members not voted yet you see who could use a reminder.

Is a date poll closed? Tap Create Agenda for Rehearsal. Orchesi creates a rehearsal on the winning date, and you only need to check the details.

The settings

• Anonymous answer: you don’t see who voted what.
• Show results before closing: members see the current results before the poll closes.
• Multiple vote: members may choose more than one answer.
• Allow change vote: members may change their answer later.

The results

1. Go to Polls in the menu and open the poll.
2. You see each answer’s share of the votes. With View vote you see who voted what (except in an anonymous poll).
3. Under Members not voted you see who could use a reminder.

Want to stop a poll before its deadline? Click Close.

Tip: set the deadline a few days before you need the answer. That leaves time to nudge members who haven’t voted.
