2. Enable the correct permissions to allow users to create polls. Click Administer » User management » Access control and add "create poll" permissions to all the roles (user groups) that should be allowed to make polls.
3. Select defaults for the workflow, i.e. whether polls go to the front page automatically, whether they automatically can receive comments, add revisions, etc. Click Administer » Content management » Content types and change the settings as appropriate for the Poll content type.
