Edit Poll is finally here! 🎉​

One of the most requested features is here... Editing polls!
It’s now possible to edit polls even after they’ve been created.

Whether it’s fixing a typo in the question, adding a missing answer option, or keeping the poll open a few extra days — everything can now be edited:

  • Question
  • Edit or delete answers
  • Add new answers
  • Description
  • Poll type
  • Duration
  • Image
  • Embed and button colors
  • Maximal choices
  • Allowed roles
  • Option to allow users to remove or change their vote

Commands:

  • /editpoll
  • Right click the poll message => Apps => Edit

Limitations:

  • It’s currently not possible to edit the emojis of answers
  • It’s not possible to reorder the answers
  • New answers will use a default emoji
  • If more than 20 answers are added, the poll type will automatically switch to Select Menus, as buttons only support up to 20 answers.

More Answer Options​

You can now add up to 25 answers, instead of the previous limit of 19 or 20.
For polls with more than 20 answers, the poll type must be set to Select Menus, as buttons only support up to 20 answers.

More Allowed Roles​

It’s now possible to allow multiple roles to participate in polls, instead of just one.
To achieve this, edit the poll after creation and add additional roles from there.

New Option: Allow Vote Remove​

You can now decide whether users are allowed to remove/change their vote after voting.

Reopen Time Polls​

You can now reopen polls with end date in the past (/reopenpoll). This will completely remove the end date. If needed, you can set a new time later using /editpoll.

Role-weighted voting​

It is now possible to define a voting weight for roles using /settings role-weight. This means that the vote of users with this role counts more.
For example, the Server Booster role can be given a voting weight of 2 and team members a voting weight of 10.
A vote can be weighted from 1-100, with 1 being the default value. If a user has multiple roles, the role with the highest weight counts.
The weight for a vote is always determined at the time of the vote, e.g. if the weight of a role is changed or the user gets/loses a role with weight, this has no impact on votes already submitted — only on future votes.

Goodbye Reactions - Welcome Buttons & Select Menus​

One of the biggest changes is the voting options in polls. It is now possible to use buttons and select menus instead of reactions. We decided to no longer support reactions, as they are difficult to manage at this scale. When we started, the bot was used by only a small number of servers, so it wasn't hard to manage the reactions. Since then, the bot has grown to over 200,000 servers and needs to manage polls with thousands of votes. The bot had to ensure that added reactions were counted and that reactions were removed for anonymous and limited-choice polls. Buttons and select menus make it easier for us to maintain control and ensure that every vote is counted. This improves the integrity of the polls. Additionally, we no longer need to remove reactions for anonymous polls, which was often a problem for very large polls due to Discord's rate limits. Users now also receive a direct confirmation that their vote has been counted - right in the channel and visible only to them. The bot no longer sends private messages as confirmation.

New Permission System​

We say goodbye to the PollCreator role and hello to Discord's Command Permissions! From now on, permissions are managed via the server settings under Integrations => EasyPoll => Command Permissions. There, you can set permissions for each command, role, channel, and user. This allows for very precise configuration of who can use which commands.

By default, the Manage Server permission is now required to use the commands (except for /help and /invite). The PollCreator role and the channel description with "easypoll" no longer have any effect and can be removed.

New Commands​

New Features​

  • Events: EasyPoll now handles events when a member leaves the server, gets kicked, or gets banned, and can remove active votes from polls.
  • Threads: EasyPoll can now create a thread directly with polls and automatically close it when the poll ends.
