What is Quikipoll?
Quikipoll is a free online polling platform. It makes it easy for you to create polls suitable for sharing with family, friends, co-workers, customers and more. Easily compare group vote results with those of the quikipoll.com community. The differences can be revealing and fun.
Do I need to sign up in order to vote or create a poll?
No, you don’t need to sign up to vote or to create a poll. However, there are significant benefits to doing so.
We only require an email and password to signup so it’s as simple as it gets.
How many poll types are available?
There are 4 types of polls available:
Choose the style that best fits your polling goals.
How can I edit a poll I just created?
If you created the poll while logged in to your account go to your poll locker . Make sure the “Created” group is selected. Look for the poll you want to edit. If the poll is editable, a blue gear icon will be visible. Click on the gear icon and you’ll be sent to the poll editor. Make whatever changes you want and then save the changes.
If your poll does not display the blue gear it is no longer editable. For a poll to be editable it must have zero votes and zero repolls.
I created some polls before becoming a member and as suggested, I saved the Secret Author’s Codes. How do I use these codes to edit my previous polls, get the vote counts, etc.?
I want my polls to show up on your “Community Polls” page but sometimes they don’t show up. Why is that?
Polls shown in the Community page must be reasonably constructed and answerable by anyone. If a poll is too obscure, clearly a test entry, obscene, or otherwise violates our Terms of Service it will not be shown.
Other reasons why polls are not displayed include:
We also prefer polls created by registered members :-)
It could take some time to see a new poll in the Community page. If after reading this you still think something is not right, please send us a bug report.
Can I create a private poll that is not shown on the “Community Poll” page?
Sure, just make sure the “Show In Community Polls” checkbox at the bottom of the ”Create” page is not checked.
Also, “Repolls” are never shown in the Community Polls page. So you can have a version that is public and one that is private and only seen by a limited audience both running at the same time and with independent statistics.
I can’t see the vote counts in the statistics. Why?
Only a poll’s owner/creator can see the number of votes cast. Voters can only see the percentage results.
