Polls on Neighbourly allow you to easily gather the opinions of your neighbours on a particular topic. Like posts on Neighbourly, polls can be shared with your neighbourhood, your Nearby Neighbourhoods or with members of a group you belong to. Any Neighbourly member with whom the poll has been shared can cast one vote, and the results are then displayed to other members of the neighbourhood or group until the poll is closed.
All votes on polls are anonymous, and the creator of a poll can close it at any time.
