FAQ
Common questions about group scheduling.
Is Poll Maker really free to use?
You can create a free scheduling poll and share it with a link.
If you need advanced controls (like stricter access or verification), those options may vary by plan.
Do participants need an account to vote?
No. Participants can vote immediately. If you want stronger identity control, you can require email verification.
How do time zones work?
Participants see the options in their own time zone automatically. The poll keeps a consistent reference time zone so everyone is aligned.
Can I keep votes private?
Yes. You can choose whether the participant list is visible, whether individual votes are visible, and whether the poll is public or private.
How many options should I include?
Most groups move fastest with 3–5 options. Include at least one “safe” time that you think works for everyone.
