Polls that close on time and don't lead the vote

Every poll has a deadline, and you only see the results after you've voted.

Ask a question in the comments and you get the answers people are willing to defend in public, usually shaped by whoever replied first. A poll gets you a count. Asyncbit polls are built to keep that count honest: you can't see the results until you've voted, so early numbers don't nudge anyone toward the popular option.

Every poll has an end. When you create one you choose how long it runs — one day, three days or one week — and if you don't choose, it closes after 24 hours. That keeps a decision from being reopened by votes that arrive a month late, and it means the result is final once the time is up.

Polls can also be posted anonymously, so your name doesn't appear as the person asking. That setting is off by default on both the web and Android; turn it on when the question is sensitive. Each person gets one vote, and the results show totals for each option rather than a list of who picked what.

How polls works on Asyncbit

  1. 1

    Write the question and options

    Keep options distinct and non-overlapping. “Under ₹500 / ₹500–₹1,000 / Over ₹1,000” reads cleanly; vague or overlapping options produce a vague result.

  2. 2

    Pick a duration

    One day, three days or one week. If you leave it alone, the poll closes after 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Decide whether to sign it

    Keep your name on it or post it anonymously. You can't edit or delete an anonymous poll afterwards, so check the wording before you publish.

  4. 4

    Vote, then see the results

    Voters pick an option and then see the totals. Anyone who hasn't voted sees only the question and the options.

  5. 5

    Let it close

    When the time runs out, voting stops and the result stands.

What makes it worth using

Results after you vote

No bandwagon effect from early numbers.

Every poll has a deadline

One day, three days or one week — never open-ended.

One vote per person

A second vote on the same poll is refused, so the count can't be stuffed from one account.

Points on both sides

Creating a poll earns 5 points by default, and each vote earns 2.

Anonymous when you need it

Turn on anonymity for sensitive questions. It's off by default, so a normal poll carries your name.

Part of For you

Polls appear in the ranked For you feed alongside posts and questions.

Polls questions

Can anyone see how I voted in a poll?
Results are shown as totals for each option, not as a list of names next to choices.
Do polls close automatically?
Yes. Every poll closes after one day, three days or one week, and the default is 24 hours.
Why can't I see the results?
Results appear once you've voted. That stops early numbers from swaying the people who vote later.
Are polls anonymous?
Only if the creator turns anonymity on; it's off by default. An anonymous poll shows no author.
