Cant add poll to facebook event

You can’t but you can use a free workaround. For example, you can create a free poll using Google Forms and share a link on your news feed for your friends to vote.

It is a known fact that Facebook will not allow all your friends to see your update once you share a link. Whether it is because Facebook doesn’t like people clicking links and leaving the platform or whether it is a way to fight spam, but you will need to make sure as many of your friends will see the link as possible.

Here are a few tips:

• Add a note that link is in the comments
• Post an update without the link to your poll but add it immediately in the comment section
