What Polltab is
Polltab is a web service for creating and sharing online polls. A creator can distribute a poll through a unique link or QR code, and responses may be anonymous. Questions and choices can include images from image URLs and videos linked from YouTube or Vimeo. Bracket polls arrange choices into head-to-head tournament voting. Results update live without a page refresh, and an iframe can place a poll on a website or blog. Vote verification can use cookies, IP addresses, or social login through Google, Facebook, or Reddit. Creators can also enable CAPTCHA to help block bots. Each poll supports up to 150 choices. Polltab says creators and participants need no registration and that its free plan costs nothing. It says personally identifiable information is not stored, except that socially verified votes retain an account’s unique ID. Polls and vote data remain indefinitely unless deletion is requested. Changes and deletions require its contact form.
