Facebook Poll: How to Create and Use

There are a lot of reasons that someone may wish to create and use a Facebook poll, depending on their needs. Some people may be looking for information such as the most popular color in their office, what kind of music their friends prefer, or if they should get a new pet. With the ability to create a poll on Facebook, anyone with access to the platform can gather information from others and share it easily with them.

The following are the steps to create a Facebook poll:

Select the Poll option from the drop-down list.

For option 1, you should enter the question you want to ask, and for option 2,

you should enter the options you wish your Poll to have.

The time has come for you to create your own Facebook poll.

You can type out the question you wish to ask in the area where it says “Ask something…”.

The final step is creating the options your audience will choose from as answers to your Poll once you have written out the question you want to ask them.

Look for options that say “Option 1” and “Option 2”.

You will need to fill in those boxes with the answer options you wish to provide your audience to answer the question.

Not. The answer options in the Poll are 3 to 25 characters long.

6. If you click on the “1 week” drop-down box under the Poll Options, you will be able to choose when you want the Poll to end

(examples: 1 day, one week, Custom).

If you have completed creating the question and answer options for your Poll, the next thing in line is to decide how long you want the Poll to run.

There is a default length of 1 week for Facebook polls.

If you feel that one week is adequate for your Poll, you may leave it at one week. You can choose from the other options to give your audience more time to answer your Poll question.

You can choose one day, one week, Never, or Custom for the time length.
