Pikipedia has a '''poll''' system, where a poll will be shown on the main page for users to vote on. These ballots can range from trivial things, like what the reader's favorite subject is from a category, to aspects that can provide some useful, interesting statistical insight, like comparisons between the number of players of certain versions of a game.

The polls are updated every two months.
The polls are updated every two months. To decide what will be the next poll, editors are encouraged to '''[[/nominations|nominate and vote]]''' on poll ideas. When it's time to switch the poll, a trusted editor is tasked with choosing a poll from the nominations, and communicating with the community to settle tie-breakers and what options to add. The poll is created on polldaddy.com, and is then updated, with the previous poll being archived (but still opened for viewers to vote, if they so wish). Detailed instructions for the editor tasked with updating the poll can be found on the [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}#Instructions|talk page]].
