Polls
Primary tabs
A Poll allows users to vote on an issue, and that vote is maintained for all to see (all, that is, who have access to the Poll).
This mechanism can be used for things as simple as Board members voting on the next meeting date to things as important as voting on agenda items or resolutions.
