# WhatsApp — Get poll results

Automatically get poll results on web.whatsapp.com. Read the current results of a WhatsApp poll, by chat name plus the poll message's id. Returns the poll question, whether it accepts more than one answer per person, each option with its vote count, and which options the signed-in account has voted for. Reading a poll changes nothing and notifies nobody. Older polls are found by loading further back through the conversation. Individual voter names are not included — only the counts. Pairs with the poll creating and voting scripts.
