Can you create a poll in Slack without installing an app?

Yes, but only one way: post your question with an emoji next to each option and let people vote with emoji reactions. Slack's help describes no other built-in poll, and the /poll command only works once an app such as Simple Poll is installed.

Emoji polls have no anonymity, no scheduling and no open-text answers. If you need any of those, install a polling app such as Simple Poll or Polly from the Slack Marketplace.
