Control your poll
Schedule when a poll opens and closes
Give everyone the same voting window, and stop responses automatically.
A clear deadline makes a vote fairer and gets people to respond sooner.
Set a start and end
In the Settings tab:
- Under Open & close dates, pick a duration like Close in 1 week to stop taking responses after that time.
- Pick Exact dates… to choose when the poll opens and closes. Until it opens, visitors see that the poll hasn’t opened yet.
Times use your time zone.
Close after a number of responses
Limit number of responses closes the poll automatically once it has collected enough responses. Handy for sign-ups with limited places, or giveaways where only the first answers count.
Close or reopen by hand
You can also close a poll at any time from its menu in your dashboard with Close poll, and reopen it with Reopen poll. If a close date has already passed, reopening may remove it, so check the settings afterwards.
Combine it with result visibility
Set Access to results to After the form closes to reveal the results to everyone the moment voting ends. See Choose who sees the results.
