Reddits new polls will let you vote on basically anything

Reddit has rolled out a new post type, polls, which lets you ask questions and vote on pretty much anything. Polls can offer up to six answers, be kept open for up to a week, and subreddit moderators can turn them off if desired. You create them like you would any other post type.
Reddit says it was motivated to create the feature because people have been making polls on the service for years using third-party services. In an average month, it says that 15,000 polls are created across the entire site. Now, the process will hopefully be a lot easier since these can be made natively on Reddit.
