Use Twitter Polls to Boost Engagement

What is a Twitter Poll?

Twitter Polls are an easy way to interact with your audience, get creative, and understand people’s opinions.  You can easily set up a twitter poll by asking a question and including poll options. You can find out how to set up a twitter poll on twitter.

It is important to remember that twitter polls are limited to 4 answer options. You can pick up to 4. You can also decide how long you want the poll to be open for (up to a week).

Once someone has voted in a poll they will see the results as they currently stand, the option they selected marked with a check mark (only they will see this – other people cannot see what someone voted), the total vote count, and the remaining time left on the poll.

After a poll has ended, the results will update for all to see within the original tweet.
