# Start a Poll

Any Group member can start a Poll.

The Poll question should be short and simple, and the answers should be specific and easy to understand.

Polls require a question and a minimum of 2 answers and allows for a maximum of 5 answers (‘none of the above’ is an acceptable answer).

To start a Poll from the Group home page:

1. Click “Start a Poll”.
2. Type in a question.
3. Choose a close date.
4. Add the background *(to add a file, see* [*Attach Files*](/lorros-guide/activities/attach-files.md)*)*.
5. Add up to 5 answers.
6. Click “Submit”
