It seems the Facebook polls feature has changed over time which can make it difficult to find. At one time, you could create a poll in the Publishing Tools for a Facebook page you manage. However, this currently no longer exists. As of this writing, you can create a poll in a Group that you belong to or manage. You can also make a smaller version of a poll when you create a Story on your mobile device. Let’s look at your options so you know where and how to create a poll on Facebook.
Create a Poll in a Facebook Group
If you belong to or manage a Facebook Group, you can create a poll on the Facebook website or in the mobile app. Plus, gathering opinions from group members with a similar interest might be ideal.
Create a Poll on the Web
Create a Poll on Your Mobile Device
You can create a poll in a Group in the Facebook mobile app with all the same options as on the web.
Create a Poll in Your Story
As mentioned, you can create a small version of a poll with two answers for a personal account or Facebook business page you manage by creating a story. Unfortunately, this option is currently only available in the Facebook mobile app on Android and iOS, not on the web. While this poll is a bit different than the one you can create in a group with several possible answers, it still gives you a way to ask a simple question and receive one of two answers from your Facebook friends.
View Poll Results
Regardless of which type of poll you create or where, you can see the results by viewing the post or story. For a group post, simply view the poll post to see the number of votes per answer and who voted. For a story, open your story for results at a glance or swipe up on the story to see the exact number of votes and who voted. Remember, Facebook stories disappear from the News Feed after 24 hours. However, if you save stories to the archive in your Facebook account, you can view them there after they vanish. Now that you know how to create a poll on Facebook in a group with several answers or in a story with only two, it’s time to go get some answers!
