Simply put, it doesn't lose sight of your needs and ensures that no detail is left unaccounted for. To name just a few improvements, you can create polls to include both single or multiple answers, work with a wide variety of options and settings to decide how you wish to sort your poll information, how to manage the results, what details to display and what to keep private, whether you want to view the total votes or the total voters, to set vote permissions or block voters etc. Scheduling your polls is no longer a problem. YOP Poll can simultaneously run multiple polls (no limit included) or you can schedule your polls to start one after another. Also, keeping track of your polls is easy, you have various sorting functions and you can access older versions at any time.

You can simultaneously run multiple polls. This option can be used to schedule your polls one after another. * Display polls: you can choose to display one or more polls on your website by simply adding the corresponding poll ID.
