Create an online poll

 

  • Click New>Spreadsheet in Google Docs.
  • Click the “share” tab, and then title your poll.
  • Select “invite” to invite people to fill out the form.
  • Create the form with your possible answers.
  • Put in however many choices you want people to have.
  • Add Help text if you want.
  • Question Type: You can choose from text, paragraph text, multiple choice
  • I populated with numbers, so I could get the Spreadsheet application to interpret the data.
  • Choose recipients… either by adding your contact list… or giving out the URL to others.
  • Set up a formula to interpret and see your data.
  • In the next available column, type: =countif(B2:B500, 1) (this is just an example… use the proper rows and columns from your particular sheet).
  • Continue to make formulas for each of your answer possibility. For my second one, the formula was: =countif(B2:B500, 2)
  • I then wanted to create a chart to show my data. I entered another formula (C2:C4) and clicked the Chart button.
  • Choose the type of chart, and what cells you want the chart to graph for you.
  • Title your Chart, and choose your axis points.
  • If you want, you can format the number cells to hide them. I just made the font white, so it didn’t show.
  • Now I’m ready to publish my chart with the poll results. You can even choose to automatically re-publish and update every five minutes… and then share the link via RSS feed, or URL.

Use doodle for online polling

There is the webpage doodle.com, which is built for online polling. You can use it for setting up an appointment between several people, but also to choose between different things e.g. movies, restaurants etc.It is easy to use, with options to get notifications when people set their choice.
