Frequently asked questions
The important details, without the fine-print fog.
Who needs an account?
Poll and LiveLink creators need an account so ownership survives a change of browser or device. Respondents usually do not need an account and can participate from the link a creator shares.
What is LiveLink?
LiveLink is the real-time event mode. An organizer can run a poll alongside an ongoing show, event, class, meeting, or broadcast, display a QR code for the audience, and present continuously updating results while voting remains open.
Are the results scientific?
Not automatically. A result reflects the people who were invited or chose to respond. Sampling method, audience reach, question design, and response controls all affect what can honestly be inferred from it.
Can a published result be made private again?
A creator can unpublish or restrict content on ElegantPolls, but a person may already have copied, downloaded, embedded, or shared it. The product makes that consequence clear before publication.
What can I export?
Eligible plans can produce PowerPoint, PDF, Excel, and CSV output. Public result links are designed to remain useful on their own and can be shared without attaching a file.
How are free plans supported?
Eligible free public pages may carry clearly labelled advertising after consent and advertising compliance are fully configured. Paid plans can include ad-free surfaces and expanded professional capabilities.
