The rules of the format

What LinkedIn accepts in a poll

These are the limits the LinkedIn poll composer enforces. The last column is the poll currently in the card above, measured against each one.

A LinkedIn poll is one question of up to 140 characters, 2 to 4 answer options of up to 30 characters each, and a run of 1, 3, 7 or 14 days. The 24 ideas on this page all fit inside those limits.

How this generator works

A question, its answers, and nothing to rewrite

  1. Every idea is measured first

    A poll idea that runs past the limits leaves you rewriting it before you can publish it. Each question and each option here is counted against the composer before it reaches the page.

  2. Two answers can beat four

    Four options split the vote and give you a flat result. A sharp two-way question gets a clean majority, which is the thing worth posting about afterwards.

  3. The run length sets the pace

    One day concentrates the votes and the comments. Two weeks keeps the post coming back to the feed. Both are legitimate, they just serve different posts.

After the idea

A poll is not just a good question

You leave here with a question and its options, and nowhere to put them. Inside MagicPost the poll is built next to the post that carries it, scheduled for the day you want, and followed once the votes come in.

  • Built with the limits in front of you. The composer counts the question and every option as you type, so nothing is refused at publish time.

  • Scheduled, not published in a rush. Pick the day and the run length, and the poll goes out on its own while you are elsewhere.

  • Followed once the votes land. Votes and comments come back into your analytics, next to everything else you published that week.

Questions

About LinkedIn polls

Useful next
Is this LinkedIn poll idea generator free?

Yes. Every idea on the page is there without a signup, an email or a limit on how many you look at. MagicPost publishes this tool to bring writers to the product, not to charge for a question.

How long can a LinkedIn poll question be?

140 characters, and the composer stops accepting text at that point. Each answer option is capped at 30 characters, which is the tighter of the two limits and the one that catches most people out.

How many options can a LinkedIn poll have?

Between two and four. You cannot publish a poll with a single answer, and there is no fifth option. Two options often work better than four, because the vote does not scatter.

How long does a LinkedIn poll run?

You choose one day, three days, one week or two weeks when you create it, and the poll closes on its own at the end. A week is the usual pick and the one MagicPost defaults to. How to add a poll to a LinkedIn post

Can I add an image or a video to a poll?

No. A poll takes the whole post, so it cannot carry an image, a document or a video alongside it. The text above the poll is where you set the question up.

Can I edit the ideas before posting them?

Yes, and you should. Switch the tool to your own poll and rewrite the question and the answers in the card; the counters follow every keystroke so you can see the moment a line runs past what LinkedIn takes. LinkedIn Post Idea Generator
