The Polls Plugin page allows you to manage all of the Polls in your community and determine the Global Settings and Member Level Settings for your community.
To reach the Polls Plugin page in your Admin panel, navigate to Plugins > Polls.
The Manage Polls page shows all of the Polls in your community.
To view a Poll, click on the "view" link under "Options" for the Poll that you want to view.
You can delete an individual Poll by clicking the "delete" link on the right side of each row under the "Options" column.
You can choose to delete multiple Polls at once by using the checkboxes on the left side of the table and the "Delete Selected" button at the bottom. Checking the checkbox in the blue title bar will select all of the checkboxes on the list below it.
To get to this page, click on the "Global Settings" tab.
Determine how many Polls will be shown per page, how many possible Poll answers are permitted, and whether members are allowed to change their vote. Click “Save Changes” after changing the settings.
These settings are applied on a per Member Level basis. Start by selecting the Member Level that you want to modify, then adjust the settings for that level. To reach this page, click on the "Member Level Settings" tab. When done making any changes, click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page.

You can limit the ability of the selected Member Level from being able to view Polls.
The "Yes, allow viewing of all polls, even private ones" option is only available for the moderator/admin/super admin member levels. This option will allow members of this level to see all Polls on the site no matter what level of privacy the Poll has been set to. Selecting the "Yes, allow viewing of polls" will allow members of this level to view all Polls which apply to members of this level.

The “Poll Privacy” feature allows you to select which options to give to your members in terms of who can view their Polls.
If you select more than one option, the selected options will appear in the Poll's Privacy settings.
If you do not select any options, the user will not have a "Privacy" section on their Poll Settings page and will not be able to make any selections. The privacy setting will be whatever was last selected before disabling the privacy options. If you would like Everyone (even user's not logged in) or All Registered Members to be able to see everyone's Polls, you will need to select one of these options and only one. Selecting more than one will once again allow the user to select between the two options.
The “Poll Commenting Options” are much like the previous Poll Privacy; however, they apply to which users are allowed to comment on the members of this level's Poll entries.
