The two-option “this or that” is the single most common poll people run, and this template is the polished version of it: one tap, a live tally, and the freedom to change your vote. It earns its place over a plain Discord reaction poll on presentation, a unique emoji per option, a topic image, and a running results bar, not on complexity.
Run it as the daily or weekly quick poll: a two-way debate, an A/B call, a “which do you prefer.”
One question, done well
A poll is a single question, and here the prompt is the whole poll. Members tap a side and watch the bar move. For a binding decision use the governance vote; for a discussion use the debate poll with its defend-your-pick follow-up; for pure fast fun, this.
The example is a cats-versus-dogs debate, universally recognizable and obviously swap-me.
Variants
- Daily poll: run a fresh matchup every day to keep the channel active.
- A/B feedback: two design options, two names, two directions, and let the room decide.
- Gamer versus: two characters, two weapons, two maps.
- Anonymous: switch to anonymous when the topic is a little spicier.
