# Every poll now says when it closes

> When you make a poll you choose when it closes — a day, three days, a week or no end — and voters see it on the card.

Polls used to run forever. Now every poll has a closing time that its maker chooses.

## Making a poll

Under **When it closes**, pick **a day**, **3 days**, **a week** or **no end**. A week is picked for you.

## Changing it later

Open your poll's ⋯ menu and tap **Edit post**. You can close it now, or move its closing time. Changing only the words leaves the closing time alone.

## What voters see

The card says when the poll closes — "closes in 3 days", "closes in an hour". Once it closes it takes no more votes and shows its result.
