Creating a poll is easy

first make sure you create it in the Polls & Surveys Forum so it can easily be found
click on the New Topic button as normal
scroll down to the bottom of the page to the Add Poll form below the main text entry box
enter a title for your poll, and then add a minimum of two options:
type in each statement/question and be sure to use a line break (Enter) at the end of each one
set an optional type for the poll question:
if you want to force users to give only one answer leave it in the default setting; if you wish to allow more than one response click the Multiple Choice button
set an optional time limit for the poll, "0" being none

Back at the top of the page don't forget to also create topic title as you do in a normal post, and of course you can also add your normal post text using the editor. Participants can vote in the poll then add a Reply below as normal.

You should also click on the topic icon for Poll How do I create a Poll? Poll_t10
