You do realize that there is a voting mechanic, right? o_O The /propose command.

/propose linkshell "Event Voting" "Option A" "Option B" "Option C" etc will toss a voting prompt into the linkshell with the question and the choices, and players will respond with /vote # to answer. /propose works in a number of shout channels too. Granted you're limited by the chat text limit, but you can prolly fit in 3-4 choices shorthanded.
