How to make a poll on discord

Imagine you’re part of a vibrant Discord community, whether it’s a gaming clan, a book club, or a study group. Conversations are buzzing, but you need to make a collective decision on what game to play next or which book to read this month. You realize that asking everyone for their input can be chaotic, and you want a clear and organized way to gather responses. That’s when you ask yourself the question: how to make a poll on Discord?

To create a poll on Discord, you can use a bot or utilize the reaction feature in messages. If you’re using a bot like Simple Poll, just type the command to create a poll, specify the question, and add response options. Alternatively, you can ask your question in a message, and then list the choices below. Members can react to the post with different emojis representing their votes.

For a more detailed approach, here’s how to create a poll using both methods:

1. Using a Poll Bot:

– First, invite a poll bot to your server. Some popular options include Simple Poll, Poll Bot, and others. Visit the bot’s website or Discord server, and follow the instructions to add it to your server.

– Once the bot is in your server, use the command specific to that bot to create a poll. For example, with Simple Poll, you would type: `!poll “What’s your favorite game?” “Game A” “Game B” “Game C”` and then send that message. The bot will generate a poll with buttons for each option.

2. Using Reactions:

– You can easily create a poll by posting your question in a text channel. For example: “What game should we play tonight? React with the following emojis: 🎮 for Game A, 🎲 for Game B, and 🕵️ for Game C.”

– After you post the question, members can react with the corresponding emojis. To tally the votes, just count the reactions for each option.

Both methods allow for a straightforward way to gather opinions and make decisions that best reflect the group’s interests. Happy polling!
