Let them pick everything that applies.

A multiple-choice poll lets each voter tick as many options as they like — "which days work?", "pick your top three." Percentages are computed against voters, so you see each option's true share of support.

Pro tips

Small choices, more signal.

Tip 1

Say the count in the question

"Pick your top three" sets expectations and stops the over-tickers without capping anyone.

Tip 2

Availability is its superpower

"Which days work?" is the highest-response question on this type. Full grid? Use date & time.

Tip 3

Watch long lists

Over eight options, voters stop reading. Split a big list into two focused polls instead.

FAQ

Common questions

When is multiple choice the right pick?

Whenever more than one answer can be true per person — availability, preferences, "which features do you use?". Need one definitive winner? Use single choice.

How are results counted?

Every selected option gets a vote, and percentages are computed against the number of voters — so totals can add past 100% and you see each option's true support.

Is this how date & time polls work too?

Exactly — a date & time poll is a multiple-choice poll where every option is a time slot, and voters tap every slot that works.

How many options can I include?

Up to 10 on Free and Standard, up to 20 on Pro.

Is there a limit to how many a voter can pick?

No cap — from one to all of them. If you want a bounded answer, phrase it in the question ("pick your top three").
