-Pikipedia has a '''poll''' system, where a poll is shown on the [[Main Page]] for users to vote on. These ballots can range from trivial things, like what the reader's favorite leader is, to interesting statistical polls, like comparing the number of players that use certain control schemes.

+Pikipedia has a '''poll''' system, where a poll is shown on the [[Main Page]] for users to vote on. Each poll is shown for 2 months, and they cover a variety of topics, from favorite areas to preferred control schemes.
-The current poll is changed every two months. To help decide what will be the next poll, editors are encouraged to '''[[/ideas|add and vote]]''' on poll ideas. When it's time to change the poll, a trusted editor is tasked with choosing a poll from the nominations, and communicating with the community to settle tie-breakers and what options to add. The poll is created on crowdsignal.com, and is then updated, with the previous poll being archived (but still opened for viewers to vote, if they so wish). Detailed instructions for the editor tasked with updating the poll can be found [[Pikipedia:Front page update|here]]. More details on a poll's lifetime can be found at the [[Pikipedia:Poll policy|policy page]].

+==Poll process==
+Anyone can suggest ideas for Pikipedia polls on [[Pikipedia:Poll/ideas]], and it's encouraged for editors to visit the page to see upcoming polls and add comments or votes of support or opposition. When it's time for the next poll to start, a [[Pikipedia:Staff|staff member]] looks at the ideas and selects one. (Detailed instructions for that editor can be found [[Pikipedia:Main Page update|here]].) After 2 months, the poll's final results are added to [[Pikipedia:Poll/older polls]].
+If you have an idea for a poll, [[Pikipedia:Poll/ideas|please suggest it]]! Any multiple-choice question that's Pikmin-related can be asked as a poll, but an ideal poll is one that:
+# Fans of the series ''want'' to answer.
+# Can provide some interesting stats after the votes are tallied.
+# Doesn't have any "maybe" or "depends" answers, since those are almost always what people vote for.
+# Only has a few available options.
