The Polls module allows webmasters to start simple polls and surveys. Anonymous users and registered members can vote depending on permissions. Polls can be set to allow only one option or a number of options per vote. Results are displayed through graphical horizontal bars. Expiration dates for each poll are required, but polls can be restarted once expired in case you want to revive an old discussion. An added security feature allows members to vote only once. One block is available to display one or more polls anywhere in the site.
