Facebook Poll Creator FAQ
Common questions about creating and running Facebook polls
Can I create polls on Facebook pages?
Facebook removed the built-in poll feature for pages, but you can still create text-based polls by asking questions and having people respond in comments with their choices.
How long should I run a Facebook poll?
For Stories polls, you have 24 hours automatically. For groups polls, 1-7 days works well depending on your audience size. For text polls, leave them up for 2-3 days for maximum participation.
What makes a good poll question?
Good poll questions are clear, relevant to your audience, have balanced options, and encourage engagement. Avoid yes/no questions unless they're in Stories format.
Can I see who voted in my Facebook poll?
In Facebook Groups polls, you can see who voted for what. In Stories polls, you can see who voted but votes are anonymous in the results. Text-based polls show public comments.
How often should I post polls?
Use polls sparingly, about once a week maximum. Too many polls can annoy your audience and reduce engagement. Focus on quality questions that provide real value.
