*From the Organization Editor manual, "Polls".*

Polls collect quick structured responses (a preference vote, a headcount) scoped to your
organization the same way Sign-Ups are. Click **Add Poll** in the Polls section, fill in Title,
Description, Opens/Closes, Results visibility, and one or more Questions (multiple choice, multi-
select, or fill-in-the-blank), then **Publish poll**.

*Same "no Audience picker, automatically targeted to your organization" pattern as Sign-Ups.*

**Known gap, not yet resolved:** unlike Sign-Ups, a Poll you create here is **never listed** on your
organization's page after you publish it — by design, so a poll and its in-progress results are
never shown alongside an organization's public content. You may later see it yourself in your own
**Polls** nav link, but only as something to *respond to* the same way any parent would (if you're a
Member or a roster guardian) — there's no Edit link there or anywhere else you can reach. Until this
is addressed, an Editor who needs to edit or delete their own poll should ask a School Admin to do
it from their `/polls/admin` page (they can see and edit every poll, including ones you created).

*The poll was created successfully (a School Admin would see it on `/polls/admin`), but nothing here
on the org page changed — this is expected, not a bug.*

You **cannot delete** a Poll yourself either — same as Sign-Ups, that's School Admin-only.
