Polls

Polls Tab

The Polls tab is where organizers can gather opinions and feedback from hackathon participants. It's a simple and effective way to engage your audience and get valuable insights.

Understanding the Polls Display

Here's what you'll see on the Polls tab:

• Poll Questions: Each poll is displayed with a clear question and corresponding answer options. These questions can be multiple-choice, single-choice, or open-ended, depending on what the organizer chooses.

• Poll Results: Once participants have voted, the results are visually presented. You might see percentages, bar charts, or other graphical representations, making it easy to understand the distribution of responses.

Casting your vote is straightforward:

1. Review the Question: Carefully read the poll question and understand the answer choices provided.

2. Select Your Response: Choose the answer that best reflects your opinion or knowledge.

3. View the Results (Optional): You can typically see the current results of the poll after voting. This gives you immediate insight into the overall sentiment of the hackathon participants.
