Also polls in encrypted rooms don't let you see who voted for what:
Polls posted in encrypted rooms are end-to-end encrypted, as are the votes. However, it’s worth noting that we haven’t designed the feature to be suitable for voting on decisions of real consequence. That’s because Matrix’s end-to-end encryption removes any audit trail or ability to prove who voted for what in retrospect (so-called “deniability”). Great for privacy, of course, but it does mean results can’t be used as a reliable record of who did what. So, it’s probably best if you stick to using Element polls for things like - choosing takeaway or agreeing the correct pronunciation of a popular image format.
Having support for polls would be really nice for a bot.
We need to make sure this is stable in the matrix spec before we add it (haven't really checked this yet).
