Hello,

When using the Voting Buttons, is there a way to close or end the voting poll?

Hi,

What voting poll do you mean? Could you provide a screenshot of it?

Thanks for responding. Site will not let me add images yet.

To add voting buttons to an e-mail message youre creating, follow these steps while creating your message.

1. With the New Message form open, click the Options tab in the Ribbon and then click the Use Voting Buttons button.

   A list of suggested voting buttons appears. The suggested choices include the following:

   • Approve;Reject

   • Yes;No

   • Yes;No;Maybe

   • Custom

Hi,

We can use Group Policy to disable the Use Voting Buttons menu.

First please make sure you have already downloaded Office 2013 Administrative Template files (ADMX/ADML) and Office Customization Tool:

Then follow the steps below:

1. Exit Outlook, press Windows key + R, type gpedit.msc in the Run command and press Enter.

2. In the Group Policy Management Editor navigation pane, locate User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Outlook 2013 -> Disable Items in User Interface -> Custom

3. In the details pane, double click to open Disable command bar buttons and menu items.

4. Choose Enabled, and then choose Show.

5. In the Show Contents dialog box, under Value, enter the control ID for the command that you want to disable. The control ID to disable UseVotingButtonsMenu is 14366.

6. When you have finished entering control IDs, choose OK, and then choose OK again to exit the Disable commands dialog box.

7. Open Outlook and create a new mail, we will find this option is greyed out:
