How to set up a poll

Go to Bitcoin Voting -> Polls in the left sidebar. On the top left of the screen click on the button Add New Poll.

You will see the poll configuration window now. First, you need to name your poll. This is also the headline that your voters get to see in the voting box [1]. Then, of course, activate the poll by checking enable [2].

You can also limit voters to vote just once. [3]

If you like, give your voters a description so they know what they are voting for, what you intend to do with the poll, etc. – whatever comes to your mind. [4]

Then you have four options. These are the statements or choices your voters can make or choose. Fill in the possible choices as needed for your poll. [5]

Now you need to define the cost for voting. The minimum amount that is technically possible is 13 sats (or 1 €-Cent). If you are using the Bitcoin payment just to prevent bots from voting, 13 sats is a good choice. If you want to make a small income with your poll, feel free to enter any other amount in satoshis. [6]

In the next two field you set the running time of your poll. [7]

Then, you can set a thank you message that your voters see after successfully paying and voting [8].

Next to [9] you see the shortcode that you need to place on your website wherever you want to present the poll. Just copy the shortcode and paste it to the appropriate place.

And last, but not least, you can choose to collect certain information from your donors by checking the box in the Collect donor information line [10].
