Poll is a command line addon that allows you to make quick polls in a channel. The other players vote by whispering "vote number" so they don't need any addon to vote.
For example, if you want to ask to your guild what raid they want to do tonight, type :
/poll new What do you want to do Tonight ? /poll item Satharion /poll item Malygos /poll item Ulduar /poll item Naxx /poll channel guild /poll start 300 25
This will start a poll in the guild channel with 4 options (1. Satharion, 2. Malygos...). The vote ends after 25 persons have voted or after 300 seconds or if you type /poll stop then the results will be sent in the guild channel. To vote for Malygos, a player should /whisper you vote 2 or vote malygos.
Here is the list of the commands :
/poll <command> [<parameters>]
- channel [<channel>] : Sets game channel (say, raid, party, guild, 1-10).
- new [<title>] : Creates a new poll.
- title <title> : Sets poll title.

- stop : Ends the poll and announces the results.
