Voting methods
Poll
Choose among options; the result is a tally of each option’s share, not a pass/fail.
Voting Single choice
Result simple majority
Results after voting closes
A poll asks the group to choose among options and reports where they landed: each option’s share of the vote and the leading option (or a tie). It does not "pass" or "fail" — the outcome is recorded, not a verdict — so it fits reading the room or picking a direction rather than adopting a motion. For a yes/no decision that must carry or be rejected, use Approval; to weigh several statements at once, use Common Ground.
