Create a map poll

The best polls contain a real decision, a short list of plausible places, and a clear time by which the group should respond.

  1. Write the decision as the title

    Use a concrete prompt such as “Where should we eat on Friday?” rather than a vague label such as “Dinner”.

  2. Add useful context

    Put dates, constraints, accessibility needs, budget, or meeting-time details in the description.

  3. Choose at least two places

    Search the map and add only locations the group could realistically choose. You can add or remove candidates later while voting is open.

  4. Choose visibility and expiry

    Keep personal plans unlisted. Use public polls only when you intend them to appear on Discover. Set an expiry when the decision has a real deadline.

  5. Create and share

    After creation, copy the unique poll link and keep the same browser if you need creator controls later.
