Polls are an important part of Locallia’s mission to capture community sentiment. Poll questions must be neutral, clear, and free from leading language. They should relate directly to the article they accompany and appear only at the bottom of the page. Polls are visible only to logged-in users, and results are displayed on a separate page to avoid influencing readers before they vote. Polls should be used thoughtfully and sparingly, focusing on issues where public opinion is genuinely useful.
