We propose a novel approach to measure spin polarization of nucleons produced in electron--positron collisions. Using existing tracking devices and supporting structure material, general-purpose spectrometers can be utilized as a large-acceptance polarimeter without hardware upgrade. With the proposed approach, the spin polarization of nucleons can be revealed, providing a complementary and accurate description of the final-state particles. This could have far-reaching implications, such as enabling the complete determination of the time-like electromagnetic form factors of nucleons.
