Welcome to Behind the Name's Polls!

To create a poll, click the icon at the top of the page. You must be logged on to create polls.

  1. Enter the question that the poll-takers will be answering.
  2. Choose which type of poll you want to create. You can limit the poll-takers to one selection per vote or you can allow them to pick as many as they want.
  3. Enter up to 20 options from which the poll-takers will be able to select for their answer. If you want to use fewer than 20, just leave the the unused options blank.
  4. (Initially, space for only 10 options is provided; once the last option is entered more will be shown.)
  5. Click "Create".

To edit or delete a poll you created, view it and then click the edit or delete button in the lower right. This can only be done before anyone has voted on your poll.
