Timeline

Three phases, one smooth move

We switch over in steps, so you can try the new version early and keep using the old one for six months after the release.

  1. 1 Now

    Phase 1 · Until Dec 1, 2026

    Preview

    The new version is open to everyone at new.strawpoll.com, while strawpoll.com keeps running the current version.

    • Log in at new.strawpoll.com with your existing account
    • Create polls, try the new features and send us feedback
    • Want to switch now? Start using the new version right away: links to polls you create there keep working after the release
  2. 2

    Release · Dec 1, 09:00 UTC

    Release day

    The new version moves to strawpoll.com. The current version moves to old.strawpoll.com, and redirects take care of the rest.

    • strawpoll.com serves the new StrawPoll
    • The current version keeps running at old.strawpoll.com
    • Running polls stay as they are, so voters won’t notice a thing
  3. 3

    Phase 2 · Dec 2026 – Jun 2027

    Transition

    For six months both versions run side by side. During this time every poll from the old platform moves to the new one.

    • Move your poll history to the new platform with a single click, whenever you feel ready
    • Polls you haven’t moved yourself are moved automatically, each under its current link as a custom slug
    • old.strawpoll.com shuts down once every poll has moved

Poll links

Running polls keep running

Polls that are open on release day stay on the current platform, so your voters won’t notice the switch. Every link you shared keeps working, before, during and after the move.

Your poll link

  1. 1

    Today

    Opens your poll as usual

    Nothing changes during the preview.

  2. 2

    From December 1, 2026

    Voters won’t notice

    Still opens the version voters know

    Running polls stay on the current version and open at old.strawpoll.com automatically. Apart from the address, nothing changes: voters see the same poll and can keep voting.

  3. 3

    When you’re ready

    Opens on the new platform

    Move your polls with a single click, or we move the rest before June 1, 2027. The link stays the same.

What moves over

Everything comes with you

The migration happens on our side. You keep your login, your plan and your links.

Your account Moves automatically
Every account is migrated automatically. Log in on the new platform with the same login as today.
Your paid plan Stays active
Paid plans are migrated automatically and stay active on the new platform. Nothing to cancel or sign up for again.
Your polls One click, or automatic
Running polls stay on the current version after the release, so voters won’t notice a thing. Move your polls over with a single click whenever you’re ready. Any left by June 1, 2027 move automatically, and every link stays the same.
Your links Keep working
On release day, links to existing polls redirect to old.strawpoll.com by default. Running polls stay on the current platform, so voters aren’t switched to the new version in the middle of a vote.

Why we rebuilt StrawPoll

New features, the same StrawPoll

We rebuilt StrawPoll to make room for what you’ve asked for over the years. With every new feature we checked one thing: does StrawPoll still feel like StrawPoll? What made it unique was never up for discussion, and we’re happy with how it turned out.

A few clicks may feel new

Some workflows changed a little to make room for the new features. Give it a few polls and you’ll be at home again: it quickly feels just like before.

  • Simple

    A question, a few answers, a link. That’s still all a poll needs.

  • Fast

    Pages open instantly and votes count the moment they’re cast.

  • Reliable

    Your polls and links keep working, today and in years to come.

  • Easy to use

    No manual, no training. Voters and creators find their way right away.

  • Distraction-free

    Just the poll and the results, nothing that pulls attention away.

  • Scalable

    Ten votes or ten million: StrawPoll handles both the same way.

Questions about the move

What you need to do

Nothing.

Really. We move your account, your plan and your polls for you, and every link you shared keeps working. No export, no new sign-up, no settings to change.

  • Your account moves automatically
  • Your paid plan moves automatically
  • Running polls stay on the current version
