Outlook provides the voting feature. This allows you to request a tally of responses to a multiple-choice question you send in a message.

Compose a new message. To set voting, click View, Options.

Check the Use voting buttons box and then select the possible responses. You can choose from the list provided, or you can type your own choices separated by a semi-colon (e.g. Agree;Disagree).

Complete the message and send it.

The recipient will see the following e-mail. The voting buttons will appear on top of the e-mail. The recipient simply needs to click on one of the buttons to indicate his or her choice.

To tabulate the result, open up the saved mail in the Sent Items folder. Click on the Tracking tab.

This page will show a tabulation of the responses obtained. The summary of the results is shown at the top.
