Image you want to have a feedback to some predefined options, e.g. which idea feature is most wanted. You may want to let the users choose in a poll-like view. Here is an example:

Is there any update on the roadmap feature linked above, or more information about how it will work? Ideally we would use this for public votes from OSS project core team members, so it would be helpful if the respondents can be limited to a specific group somehow. Is there any chance of that possibility? |

Hey @spaltrowitz 👋 Nice addition to the discussion. Is there a way to add a poll to a discussion from another category than "Polls"? Also, it would be great to be able to do this within issues and pull requests, sometimes technical discussions demanding choices appear within a pull request. Thanks! |

Personally, I could imagine the usage of some markdown format to allow polls being made. F.e. ```poll
Normal text is treated as the main question.
- [ ] Answers
- [ ] Use the checkbox format
- [ ] to make them stand out.
```This would then render an actual poll for people to answer to. |

Since a poll is just a discussion, you can reference it the same way as you do any other discussion.
You can lock the discussion to pause or end voting.
Not today. Is this something you would find valuable? |

This would certainly be a useful feature as maintainers may want to ask the community about topics outside of discussions. Like when someone makes a PR and with time a question comes up that a poll could answer, such as what coding practice should be used. |

Yes, for example at Meilisearch, we have discussions related to product / technical choices that are already well underway. Adding polls as the discussion progresses permits keeping the context within the initial discussion and avoiding sending people to another discussion. Here is an example in situation, this one is pretty simple since it's just about naming. Currently, we manage these with emojis but having the poll system would be beneficial, especially if we can add deadlines. |
