Polls are in-game votes in which players are asked to express their preferences for certain changes within Old School RuneScape. Only members with a total level of 280 or above can participate. (since the Old School feature poll 12)
Originally, polls were only held on the official Old School RuneScape website. Following the results of the Old School in-game poll survey, it was decided to add in-game poll booths. Players may still vote on the official website should they so choose.
Polls on game updates use a plurality voting system to determine their outcome. Any question containing a Yes option requires a supermajority of 75% of the total votes to pass. This is not counting Skip question votes, an option introduced with the Quality of Life - Top 10 PvP Suggestions poll.
Placed votes cannot be changed, and every question must be answered to vote. A running tally can be found during polls at poll booths or on the official website. These and other aspects related to polling itself have also been subject of polls, but have historically failed to pass.
