Schedule Twitter (X) Polls In Advance? Here’s How

Twitter Polls are one of the most interactive ways to engage with your audience.

Asking them direct questions, and letting them share their honest replies.

But timing is everything—publishing your polls when your audience is most active on the platform is super important.

So, what happens if your time zone doesn’t align with theirs? Are you supposed to sacrifice sleep just to publish a poll at a time when most of your followers are active?

No really! There’s a better way.

Instead of staying up late or waking up early, you can schedule your Twitter Polls in advance.

And that’s exactly what we’ll discover in this article: how to schedule your Twitter Polls ahead of time.

Can you schedule Twitter Polls using Twitter's built-in scheduler?

For regular Twitter accounts, scheduling Twitter Polls directly within the platform is not possible—you can only schedule normal tweets. If you want to schedule Twitter Polls in advance, you need to use a third-party scheduling tool like Nuelink.
