# Polls

## Understand Polls

Polls in Hippoly are created as attachments to [posts](/using-hippoly/posts.md), making them part of the broader context and conversation. Once a poll is published, it’s visible to everyone in the workspace, and all members can cast their vote.

Polls are versatile and can be used for everything from finding a suitable meeting time to gathering input for more critical decisions. You can choose between single-option polls - where users select one answer - or multiple-option polls that allow participants to vote for several alternatives.

This makes polls a flexible and efficient way to engage your team and support informed decision-making.
