It asks separately whether people can attend each option, then which one they prefer. Create the poll in SurveyLegend to find a workable time without confusing a first choice with the only date someone could attend. ## When to use this community event date poll Choose three feasible date-and-time options before opening the poll. Label them Date A, Date B, and Date C, and show the full calendar date, start and end time, and time zone for each. Set a closing date and explain who may respond. The poll informs your decision; it does not book a venue or guarantee attendance. For broader decisions about activities and event arrangements, use our [event planning](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/event-planning-survey-template/) template. **Create your community event date poll in SurveyLegend** Use this community event date poll template to compare availability before choosing a date.

Your answers stay in your browser and are never sent or saved. **—**Starts **—**Submissions Activity is temporarily unavailable. ## How to customize your community event date poll Replace the date labels with your actual options or provide a clear option key immediately above every version of the questionnaire. Do not leave a real respondent to guess what “Date A” means. Keep the availability questions separate from preference. If you need more options, add a matching availability question for each and update the prompt and PDF too. Explain your tie-breaking approach in advance, such as checking venue availability when two dates have similar support. Before sharing widely, try the questions with a few people from the intended audience and clarify anything they interpret differently. ## Printable community event date poll template Use this printable community event date poll template at a community meeting or alongside a printed event notice. It includes the same questions and space to write, giving people who prefer paper or are less comfortable online another way to take part. SurveyLegend helps you offer both formats. Tell respondents where to return the completed form and who will review it. Paper answers need a separate review or manual entry process; they are not automatically added to online responses.

Use the preference question to understand the best-liked option among workable dates. Review constraints before announcing a decision, especially if the most popular date excludes a group you need to include. Check duplicate or revised replies through your chosen process. Demo activity counts on the template page are not the votes in your event poll. ## Frequently asked questions ### Why ask about every date instead of only a favorite? Someone may prefer one date but be able to attend several. Availability answers help you choose a workable option for more of the group. ### What should I do if two dates tie? Use the tie-breaking process you communicated, such as checking venue availability or asking a short follow-up. Do not describe an arbitrary choice as the poll’s clear winner. ### Does the poll prevent someone from voting twice? This content template does not guarantee identity verification or one response per person. Choose and test the response controls appropriate to your event, and explain how revised replies are handled. Event, Parties and Occasion Survey Templates 1.
