Editing points for an existing graded poll in Poll Everywhere allows you to update the value of responses based on new criteria or feedback. This capability is essential for instructors or presenters who need to adjust the scoring of multiple choice or clickable image polls after they have been created. This article guides you through the process of navigating to your poll, editing it, and assigning new point values to each answer option.
Prerequisites
- You should have an existing Poll Everywhere account.
- You must have at least one graded poll (multiple choice or clickable image) already created.

To edit points for an existing graded poll in Poll Everywhere, do the following:
- Open your preferred web browser and navigate to Poll Everywhere. Sign in if you haven't already.
- From the left navigation panel, select Activities.
- Locate the existing poll you wish to edit and select it to open.
- Select Edit to modify the poll.
