Closing a Poll

When voting is done, close your poll to lock in the results and announce the winner.

How to close voting

Go to your My Polls page. On any open poll, click the Close Voting button. A confirmation dialog will appear showing the current results.

Declaring a winner

If there is a clear winner (one movie with the most votes), the dialog will show the winning movie and its vote count. Simply confirm to close the poll.

If there is a tie, you will be asked to select which of the tied movies to declare as winner(s). You can pick one or multiple tied movies as winners.

If no votes were cast, you can still close the poll. The dialog will let you know and ask for confirmation.

What voters see

Once closed, voters visiting the poll page will see a "Voting is now closed" message with a confetti celebration. The winning movie is displayed prominently, along with vote counts and runner-ups.

Reopening a poll

Changed your mind? You can reopen a closed poll at any time. On your My Polls page, the button will say Re-open Voting on closed polls. Clicking it will open a confirmation dialog, and once confirmed, the poll will accept votes again.

Other poll management actions

From the settings menu (gear icon) on each poll card in My Polls, you can also:

• Share — Copy the poll link or share via your device's share menu.
• Embed — Copy an iframe code to embed the poll on your own website.
• Delete — Permanently delete the poll. This cannot be undone.
