Facebook doesn’t give you the option to close a poll. All you can do is delete it or change the privacy settings of the Facebook group voting post. This can only be done in a group. Unfortunately, you cannot do this in Messenger. You also can’t close a poll in Messenger.
Perhaps in the future, Facebook will add a feature that allows you to stop polls and view the results without interfering with new users who will vote without stopping. Of course, you can warn your subscribers to stop a poll, but no one can guarantee that everyone will listen to you. So, here’s how to delete a poll on Facebook in a few easy steps.
