Polls
From Spider-help
Polls on SPIDER allow you to quickly add a single multiple choice poll to a class home page or on the main cluster home page. Polls are anonymous but each user can only vote once.
Polls can be targeted at different classes, years and clusters to allow for control over who can view and respond to the poll. These targets are determined by your cluster and your level of access. Class reps and class editors are only able to target their own class with a poll. Admin level users can target any class and also create polls on their cluster home page, which they can limit to one or more years.

Viewing results
While a poll is live, the current running totals for each choice in the poll will be shown on the class or cluster home page:
When a poll is closed, the results are visible from the 'completed polls' link on the SPIDER home page under the polls section. The completed polls page allows you to filter the poll results by cluster, year, class and date to restrict which poll results are shown.
