# Poll event
A poll note is a nostr event type (kind 6969) for conducting polls, containing predefined voting options, which users may vote on via zaps.
A poll note is a nostr event type (kind 6969) for conducting valuation polls. A poll presents two or more voting options, each represented by a unique zappable bolt11 address. Voters may participate in polls by zapping one or more chosen option(s). Poll results may be blinded, until after users have voted. Polls may specify a closing time, after which results should be unblinded, closed to new votes, and considered final.
Votes may be tallied either by total valuation or by count. To avoid ambiguity of outcome, the tally method MUST be specified by the poller upon creation of the poll. Once closed, the option with either the highest total associated value (sats) or the most votes (counts) should be treated as the winning option, and the distribution of votes considered respresentative of the combined opinion of its participants.
## Purpose
* define new standardized event kind for voting polls
The purpose of poll notes is to solicit qualitative public opinion polls by requiring voters pay to participate. By quantitatively tying vote counts and amounts to real satoshi valuations, nostr polls should provide superior signal compared with other free polling models. Imposing real monetary costs on participants should also discourage attempts at fraudulent result manipulation, by automated or other means.
Strict adherence to the requirements of this NIP should allow for more robust and formal means of assessing consensus of opinion on a poll's content. However, until this outline is further refined and proven robust, polls should not be considered authoritative nor binding.
## Poll format (RFC)
Should a poll be self-contained in a single event (including its voting options) or be a parent event (#0) with separate (but linked) child voting option events (#1, #2, #3, #n), each referencing the parent poll event?
A poll is a self-contained event, containing a predefined number of voting options.
