# How to Vote in a Poll

# How to Vote in a Poll

**In this article:**
* Overview
* How to cast your vote
* How to change your vote
* Things to keep in mind
* FAQs
* Who can do this

## Overview
Some discussions include a Poll — a quick question with a set of options that everyone in the discussion can vote on. Casting your vote adds to the running tally shown against each option, so you can see at a glance what the group thinks. This article covers casting, changing and resetting your vote.

## How to cast your vote
1. Open the discussion from the **Discussions** hub and find the **Poll** card, just below the opening statement.
2. Choose your option. A single-choice poll shows a circle next to each option, so selecting a new one replaces your previous choice. A multiple-choice poll shows a square you can tick against as many options as you like.
3. Click **Submit vote**.

Once your vote is recorded, the options lock and each row shows its share of the total as a percentage and a vote count.

## How to change your vote
1. On a poll you have already voted in, click **Reset**.
2. The options unlock so you can make a new selection.
3. Choose your new option (or, on a multiple-choice poll, adjust which options are ticked) and click **Submit vote** again.

> **Note:** **Submit vote** only becomes available once your selection differs from what you last submitted, so re-submitting an unchanged choice does nothing.

## Things to keep in mind
* You can only vote while the poll is open and the discussion is active. A closed poll (or one that has passed its scheduled close time) shows a **Closed** badge and no longer accepts votes.
* An archived discussion is read-only, so its poll cannot be voted on.
* On a single-choice poll, voting for a different option replaces your earlier vote rather than adding a second one.

## FAQs
**Can I remove my vote entirely?**
Voting is designed for changing your choice rather than clearing it. Use **Reset** to unlock the options and pick a different one, then **Submit vote**.

**Why can't I see the Submit vote button?**
It only appears while the poll is open and the discussion is active. If the poll shows a **Closed** badge, voting has ended.

**Can other people see how I voted?**
The poll shows the total votes and each option's share. It does not display a per-person breakdown of who chose what.

## Who can do this
Anyone who can open a discussion can vote in its poll — this includes **Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users. Voting is blocked only when the poll is closed or the discussion is archived, not by role.
