Yes or no poll template
A yes-or-no poll is the smallest useful vote: one question, one tap, and a result everyone can see. This template adds a third option — “Not sure” — because forcing the undecided to pick a side manufactures a majority that is not there.
The poll beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
One vote per person, checked on the server
A second vote from the same browser is refused when it arrives, with a message saying a vote is already counted. Eight simultaneous submissions from one browser still produce exactly one vote — the check is a conditional write, not a cookie.
Results the moment you vote
After voting, the thank-you screen shows the current results underneath — a bar, a percentage and a count per answer — and keeps them updating.
Three ways to limit voting
One per browser needs no sign-in. One per network is stricter but treats everyone on one office network as a single voter. One per account requires sign-in and is the hardest to get around.
No card required.

Live previewHow to use this template
5 steps in the editor. Nothing here needs a paid plan.
- Press “Use this template” and replace the question with your own. Phrase it so that “Yes” is the change and “No” is staying as you are.
- Decide whether to keep “Not sure”. Remove it only when a decision genuinely has to be made today.
- Under Settings → Voting & results, results are on “Always” and voting is limited to one per browser. Switch results to “After voting” if you do not want early votes to sway later ones.
- Set a closing date under Settings → Advanced if the vote has a deadline.
- Share the /p/ link. The same address followed by /results is the live results page.

What goes wrong with this poll
Specific to this template, not general advice about polls.
A question that is really two
“Should we move the meeting to Friday and make it shorter?” cannot be answered yes or no by someone who wants one and not the other. One decision per poll.
Showing results before people vote
Visible totals pull undecided voters toward the leader. If independence matters more than excitement, use “After voting”.
Treating a poll as a ballot
One vote per browser stops accidental and casual repeat voting, not a motivated person with three devices. For a binding decision, require sign-in.
No closing time
An open-ended poll never produces a result you can act on, because the count can always change. Set a deadline and say what it is.
Questions about this poll
Can people vote more than once?
Not by default. A poll allows one vote per browser, enforced on the server. Someone determined can vote again from a different browser or device; for a vote where that matters, switch to one per account, which requires sign-in.
Can I hide the results until voting ends?
Yes. Set results to “After voting closes” and give the poll a closing date. Until then the results page says when results will be published; afterwards it shows them to anyone with the link.
Do voters need to sign up?
No. Voters open the link and tap an answer. An account is needed only by the person creating the poll here — and not even that with the free poll maker.
How long does a poll stay open?
Until you close it or its closing date passes. A poll made in your account stays in your dashboard; one made with the no-signup poll maker is removed automatically after ninety days.
