Twitter has announced that it has updated its polling feature, giving users the ability to customize how long the polls lasted for. By default they were 24 hours, but now it can be modified to run as short as 5 minutes or as long as seven days. This comes after the company revealed that more than 1.7 billion votes have been cast since the feature's inception.
Now you can adjust how long your Twitter Polls run! Do you need to adjust your New Year's resolutions too?

Polling first launched in October on iOS, Android, and the Web as a new way to help people express their opinions. Users created their query right from Twitter's native apps and initially were limited to just two answer choices. Eventually that broadened to include more choices for respondents. As stated earlier, polls would stay open for 24 hours and users were limited to answering only once.
For the first time ever, Twitter has revealed how rapidly its users have adopted polling. Since October 2015, there have been 1.7 billion votes cast, but based on rough math and using the 320 million monthly active users, this equates to 1.77 votes cast per user per month.
