Users with the correct permissions can create and/or vote on polls.

• To create a poll a user needs the "create polls" permission.
• To vote on a poll question a user must have the "vote on polls" permission.
• To view the results one needs the "access content" permission.
• To administer polls you need the "administer nodes" permission.

Creating
a poll is much like creating any other node. Click "create poll" in
your user box. The title of the poll should be the question, then enter
the answers and the "base" vote counts. You can also choose the time
period over which the vote will run.

The Poll
item in the navigation links will take you to a page where you can see
all the current polls, vote on them (if you haven't already) and view
the results.
