How to Do a Poll on Discord?
Creating a Discord poll is actually pretty simple, especially since the app added a built-in poll option. With that, anyone can do a Discord poll now. However, the steps to make a Discord poll slightly vary from the web and desktop versions to the Discord mobile app.
Method 1: Create a Discord Poll on Desktop and Web
To do a poll on Discord’s desktop and web version, just go to server and follow these steps: Once the Discord poll is live, server members can select any one of the options and click on the Vote button to confirm their selection.
Method 2: Create a Discord Poll on Android and iOS
The steps to create a poll on the Discord app on Android and iOS are actually pretty similar to the web counterpart. Here’s how you can do it: After the set duration is complete, you can no longer vote in the poll. Depending on the channel rules, other members might not be allowed to make polls besides moderators and server owners.
Other Ways to Make Discord Polls
The option to make polls on Discord is actually quite recent. Before that, people used all sorts of creative workarounds to host polls for their communities on the platform. Some of them still work, and you can use them if the native version doesn’t work out for you.
Method 1: Create a Poll Using Reactions
Long-time Discord users know that they can react to any message or post with an emoji. This emoji reaction feature was often used as a method to do a basic poll on the server. If you still don’t quite get the idea, then take a look at the steps below. One major issue with this method is that your poll may get drowned in the barrage of messages, making it hard for other members to find the poll itself. That’s why it would be better to create a separate channel for polls if you are the server owner. Make sure to go to Advanced permissions and allow toggles for Read Messages and Add Reactions so it doesn’t get spammed by messages.
Method 2: Add a Bot to Create Polls on Discord
There are a lot of useful Discord Bots that can automate moderation on servers, like greeting new members, moderating, warning, or banning users. But we can also use them to make polls on Discord as well. In this guide, I will show you how to make a Discord poll with the Carl bot, but you can use any other option that you already use or are familiar with. Adding Carl Bot to the Discord Server Before you create a poll with a bot, you need to add it to your server first. Here’s how you can do it. Creating a Poll Using a Carl Bot Now that the Carl bot has been added to my Discord server, let’s start creating a poll with it.
Method 3: Use an External Website to Create Discord Polls
If the above options sound like a hassle, you can also use an external website to make a quick poll. The benefit of using this option is that it preserves the anonymity of the users who have voted. For this article, I am using the Poll-Maker website since it does not require a sign-in. That’s pretty much all there is to creating Discord Polls. As a community-driven app, it is not surprising to see how often polls are used on Discord. Whether you are using the built-in method or the other workarounds, I hope you found a favorable solution.
