Private polls

Poll your group, keep it in the group

Lunch spot, team offsite, class rep, family trip: ask just the people who matter, see who picked what, and take the results with you.

Create a private poll
  1. Create it privately

    Write the question and options, switch to Private and add a password if you like.

  2. Share the link

    Send it in your group chat. The preview shows only the title, never the options.

  3. Collect the answers

    Everyone votes with their name. Watch the results live, then close and export to CSV.

Made for getting a group's answer

  • Password protectionOnly people with the password can open the poll and vote. Change it any time.

  • Disable a voteSomeone outside the group, or a duplicate? Take the ballot out of the results and tell them why.
  • Export to CSVDownload every ballot (name, choices, reasons, time) for Excel or Google Sheets.
  • No account needed to voteYour group just opens the link and votes. You can also require login.

Private polls never appear in the feed or search and don't earn Hunch. Anyone you forward the link (and password) to can vote.
