What a Telegram poll is
A Telegram poll is a native message type where channel members vote on one of up to 10 answer options. It supports two distinct modes: a regular poll for opinion or preference questions, and a quiz mode where one answer is marked correct and an explanation can be shown after voting.
How to schedule a Telegram poll
Decide on the poll settings before scheduling, since some — like quiz mode — cannot be changed after the poll is sent.
- Write the question and up to 10 answer options
- Choose anonymous voting (the default) or public voting where names are visible
- Decide whether members can select multiple answers or only one
- For quiz mode, mark the correct option and optionally add an explanation shown after voting
Regular poll vs. quiz mode
A regular poll suits opinion questions where there is no right answer — feedback, preferences, quick surveys. Quiz mode suits trivia, comprehension checks, or anything with a defined correct answer, since it scores the response and can reveal an explanation afterward.
