Instagram has a built-in option for anonymous polls through its story feature, though only the creator can see who voted and how.
To create a poll, open Instagram stories and tap the sticker icon, selecting the Poll option and adding a question and answer options, then posting.
Viewers will only see the percentage of votes for each option without being able to see individual responses.
A second method, using the third-party app NGL, allows poll creators to share a link in their Instagram story that viewers can click to answer anonymously.
Polls can also be created through third-party websites, such as Poll-Maker or Google Forms, which allow completely anonymous responses.
Links to these external poll sources can then be shared via an Instagram story or Reel, or directly in messages to groups.
This method could encourage more people to vote as they don’t need to worry about revealing their identity.
