Forms at /forms let you build any data collection flow and share it as a public link, embed it in your candidate page, or hand it to canvassers to fill out at the door.
When to use a form
**Volunteer signup** — capture name, phone, availability, skills**Event RSVP** — confirm attendance, dietary needs, transportation**Issue survey** — find out what your ward cares about most**Door-hanger reply card** — voters scan a QR code and submit their feedback**Canvasser debrief** — end-of-day structured report from the fieldBuilding a form
Go to /forms → New Form:
**Name your form** — this appears in your forms list (voters see the Form Title field instead)**Add fields** — drag in text inputs, multiple choice, checkboxes, rating scales, dropdowns**Set a confirmation message** — what the respondent sees after submitting**Publish** — toggle the form live to start accepting responsesSharing a form
Every form gets a public URL at /f/[slug] and an embed code. Share the link in an email, add it to your candidate page, or generate a QR code to print on door hangers.
Connecting to contacts
When a form includes an email or phone field, Poll City automatically links the submission to an existing contact in your CRM — or creates a new contact if none is found.
Tips
Keep forms short — 5 questions or fewer for public-facing formsUse the Confirmation Message to tell respondents what happens nextFor door-hanger cards, use a single multiple-choice question to keep scanning fast
