Opinion poll
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference
Opinion polls are a type of social communication. Such polls were utilized during the 24th century to allow people from across the Federation to have a public debate on a given subject.
Ru'afo feared that if word of what the Son'a was doing in the Briar Patch reached the Federation, citizens would hold public debates and opinion polls disapproving of the Son'a operation. (Star Trek: Insurrection)
