Community Movie Night Theme Poll Template

A useful movie-night poll does more than ask for a favorite genre. Organizers also need to know who may attend, which audience the event should suit, whether the setting works, and what could keep people away. This template supports one named community event using theme options the organizer has already cleared. It does not select a copyrighted title, secure screening rights, register attendance, or survey children.

Choosing for a group means preserving more than one person’s preference. In a 2022 group-recommendation paper, Chen and colleagues described preference aggregation as creating a summary of “all group members' preferences”. Read the group recommendation study . The research evaluates a computational model on benchmark datasets, not a community-event poll, so it does not validate this questionnaire or guarantee a fair result. This original template uses the narrower idea of collecting individual preferences before applying a transparent event decision rule.

Name the event, date window, organizer, response deadline, and organizer-cleared theme options before sharing. All seven questions are optional and always visible.

Replace the example themes with a short list the organizer can realistically screen. Confirm venue rules, public-performance rights, age guidance, accessibility, weather plans, and budget outside the poll. State how the winning theme will be chosen, how ties will be handled, and whether attendance intent is only planning information.

Use the poll guide to decide whether a poll is the right format. If the event still needs broader choices about timing, venue, or services, adapt the event planning template. Invite adults or guardians rather than children, avoid names unless needed, and provide a direct contact route for accessibility details that should not be entered publicly.

Copy this prompt into an AI assistant to draft the questions. Review the draft, then build and customize the survey in SurveyLegend before sharing. Check every field, answer option, and privacy statement against the template.

Apply the published decision rule after the response deadline. Count the primary-theme selections first, then examine audience fit, setting, and the main barriers before confirming the event plan. Use the backup-theme question only if the leading option cannot be screened. Do not count “definitely will attend” as a reservation or use responses to estimate total turnout without a sampling plan. Report response counts and tie handling, preserve minority accessibility needs even when they are not the majority choice, and document which operational checks still remain.
