Polls are offered as part of the message boards/forums system on SiteOrganic.  The below article assumes that you are logged into the Forums Control Panel, which is separate from the SiteOrganic Admin Console.

Once you have enabled polls in your general forum settings (Feature Permissions screen), you must also enable polls in the specific forums where you want them to be available.  In other words, you would go into Forum settings for , click on the Permissions tab, and enable Polls.  You can also specify which types of users are allowed to create polls, vote on them, view results, etc. 

We recommend that you limit the creation of polls to administrators and moderators, but let any type of user vote in a poll.

Once this is complete, you should see a "Post a Poll" button appear on top of your forum, next to the "New Topic" button.

When you create a poll, you will also have the ability to limit people to only vote once, view results immediately or on a delay, etc.
