good man.
I think they are all the options that are needed.
You could extend it with allowing maybes but then you’d need 10 options or something!!

Well Put Daire,

I was also looking at the option “Can’t make it”………

the only thing that might distort the poll is that its a poll for your preference rather than actually determining if theres one clear date that more people can actually make than the other.

i.e. say 100% of who vote might be ABLE to make the 11th, say 20 people.
Say 11 vote for the 18th (cos its the last day of work) as a preference, but the other 9 vote for the 11th as simply they are out of the country on the 18th.

If went by the poll then, you’d have the party on the 18th because of the majority preference, not the majority ability and willingness to attend!!

Maybe the poll needs slightly different options, i.e.
- Can make both days – preference=11th
- Can make both days – preference=18th
- Can make 11th only so preference=11th
- Can make 18th only so preference=18th
- Cant make either day!
