Experiment with some new polling types!
Hello product development community!
We've been hard at over the summer, developing up some brand new ways of making decisions with Loomio, which we're ready to release for beta testing. The current additions:
- Polls Ask users to select one or multiple choices from a user-defined list of options
- Counts Ask users to respond to a yes or no question
And coming up on the roadmap:
- Dot voting Users can distribute a set number of 'points' amongst a set of user-defined options
- Event planning Find a time that works for everyone (Doodle style)
- Brainstorm Allow users to submit ideas en masse without the need to judge them
I've enabled the new polling features in this group, which you'll see in a card marked 'Decision tools' on the right hand side. We're hoping the functionality will explain itself; if not, let us know!
We're very excited about this new step in the Loomio product, and look forward to your feedback. Enjoy!

Polls are too rigid and pre-frame the discussion in the terms used by the pollster. Simple discussions are better than polls for gathering initial opinions and coming up with ideas, while regular loomio proposals are better for finalizing.

We're long overdue for supporting more kinds of decision processes. Looking forward to the creativity that this unlocks.
