Create Your First Poll on ANKETA

Ready to start engaging the community with your polls? Here's your complete step-by-step guide to creating, customizing, and publishing your polls on ANKETA. We’ve made it super simple and intuitive so you can focus on what matters: getting answers!

Step 1: Start Creating a Poll

  • On the Main Feed, tap the “+” button at the bottom-right corner of your screen.

  • A menu pops up with two options:

    • Poll

    • Survey

  • Tap Poll to get started.

Step 2: Choose Your Poll Type

After selecting Poll, you’ll see four poll types to choose from. Each works a little differently:

  • Multiple Choice → Best for questions with three or more answer options.

  • Two-Sided → Perfect for "Yes/No" or "This or That" style polls with only two choices.

  • Ranking → Let people rank several options from most to least preferred.

  • Open-Ended → Allow voters to write their own answers.

Once you choose, you’ll enter that poll type’s specific creation flow. Let’s go through each one:

Step 3: Poll Creation Flows

3.1 Multiple Choice Polls

  • Write Your Question: Type your poll question in the main text box.

  • Add a Description (Optional): Toggle on the description option to provide context or extra details.

  • Add Your Options: Add at least three answer choices. You can add more if you want.

  • Edit Anytime: You can add, remove, or rearrange options until your poll is published.

3.2 Two-Sided Polls

  • Write Your Question: Keep it short and direct; this works best for "either/or" questions.

  • Add Two Options Only: For example:

    • “Cats or Dogs?” → Option 1: Cats 🐱, Option 2: Dogs 🐶

    • “Yes or No?” → Option 1: Yes ✅, Option 2: No ❌

  • Add a Description (Optional) if you want to give more context.

3.3 Ranking Polls

  • Write Your Question: Ask something that invites comparison, like “Rank these vacation spots!”

  • Add at Least Three Options: These are the items voters will rank in order.

  • Drag and Drop Ranking: When voting, participants will rearrange your options to show preference.

3.4 Open-Ended Polls

  • Write Your Question: Perfect for collecting feedback or creative ideas.

  • Set Character Limits: Choose how long answers can be:

    • 100 characters

    • 250 characters

    • 500 characters

    • No limit at all

  • Let voters express themselves freely; the choice is yours!

Step 4: Add Media (Optional)

Make your poll more engaging by adding media! After writing your question and options, you’ll see an option to attach media. You can upload:

  • Images

  • Videos

  • Links

Adding visuals helps your poll stand out and grab attention, but this step is completely optional.

Step 5: Poll Settings & Preview

Once your poll’s question, options, and media are ready, you’ll land on the Poll Settings & Preview page. This is where you finalize how your poll will look and work before publishing.

5.1 Edit Using the Pencil Icon

  • On the top-right corner of your question preview and media preview, you’ll see a small pencil icon ✏️.

  • Tap it to:

    • Edit your question → Takes you back to the question setup.

    • Edit your media → Takes you back to the media upload screen.

  • After editing, you’ll return to the settings page automatically.

5.2 Tag Channels

5.3 Set Poll Duration

  • Decide how long your poll stays open. Quick-select options include:

    • 1 Day

    • 3 Days

    • 1 Week

    • 1 Month

    • 90 Days (Maximum)

5.4 Schedule Your Poll (Optional)

Want your poll to go live later? No problem! Enable the “Schedule Poll” toggle and choose:

  • Date → Pick the exact day your poll should post.

  • Hour → Choose the time of day for publishing.

  • Minute → Set the exact minute within that hour.

Once you save, your poll will automatically post at the scheduled time.

5.5 Privacy & Content Settings

There are three key toggles to control who sees your poll and how:

  • Private Poll

    • Keeps your poll off the blockchain.

    • Only people you follow can see and vote.

  • Sensitive Content

    • Adds a warning banner over your poll.

    • Perfect if your question or media might be sensitive.

  • Post as Anonymous Poll

    • Hides your username and creator identity.

    • No one will know you created it!

Step 6: Publish Your Poll

  • Review your poll settings one last time on the preview screen.

  • If everything looks good, tap Publish.

  • Your poll will either go live instantly or at the scheduled time you selected.
