How To Post A Poll On Facebook Group

How to Create a Poll on Facebook (in Pages, Groups, and Stories)

On Facebook, you can share polls in different types of posts, as well as on Pages and in Groups. Here's how.

Facebook allows you to post polls to help you collect opinions from your Pages, Groups, and Stories' followers. It's easy to add a poll with your specific question to any of your Facebook properties.

In this guide, we'll show you how to create a poll on Facebook—specifically for posts on Pages, in Groups, and on your Stories.

How to Create a Poll on a Facebook Page

Facebook supports adding a poll to your Facebook Page, and this way you can collect responses from the people who follow it.

To create a poll on your page from Facebook's desktop site:

Access your Facebook Page in your preferred browser.
When the page opens, click Publishing Tools in the left sidebar.
Click Create Post at the top of the screen. This will compose the new post where you'll add a poll.
In the compose box, click the cog icon at the bottom-left corner and select Classic Post Creation Tool. This is because the modern post tool lacks the option to add a poll.
On the post creation screen, click the three-dots menu and select Poll.
Type your poll question at the top.
Specify poll options in the given fields.
Choose a duration for your poll from the given dropdown menu.
Click Share Now at the bottom to publish the newly created poll on your Facebook Page.

Start a Poll in a Facebook Group

You can add a poll as a post to your Facebook Groups as well. The procedure to do this is similar to how you add a poll to a Facebook Page.

A Group poll helps collect responses from its members. Here's how you set one up::

Access your Facebook Group on the Facebook desktop site.
Click the Create a public post option.
In the Create Post box, click the three-dots menu at the bottom and select Poll. This turns your normal post into a poll post.
Type the question for your poll at the top.
Add your poll options in the Option 1, Option 2, and Option 3 fields. Click X next to an option to remove it. Click the Add option button to add an extra answer to your poll.
Click the Poll options button to choose how the group members can interact with your poll. Here, you can decide if members can select multiple options in your poll. You can also decide if group members can add their own options.
Finally, click Post at the bottom to publish your poll.

How to Post a Poll to a Facebook Story

You must use Facebook's iOS or Android app to add a poll to a Facebook Story. This is because Facebook's desktop version doesn't offer the option to make a poll in your Stories.

To create a poll in a Story:

Open the Facebook app on your phone.
Tap Create Story at the top of the app screen.
On the Create Story screen, tap Poll at the top.
The new poll screen appears. On this screen, tap Ask a question and type the question for your poll.
Tap Yes and replace it with an option for your poll.
Tap No and replace it with one of your poll options.
When you're done, tap Done at the top-right corner.
Select Share at the bottom to share your poll in your Facebook Story.
