Abstract

A system and method directed to determining one or more polls that a user may have missed during a period of inactivity is provided. Initially, a polling system may determine that a user is now active and may determine one or more polls that were created for or assigned to a user, or a group to which the user belongs, during the period of inactivity. The polling system may then surface a notification and/or an input window such that a user may provide polling input. In some instances, a user may have missed multiple polls; the polls presented to the user may be based on recent user activity and/or whether such missed polls are still live, or open.
