Missing information about Referenda conviction locks

• What is the current behavior and expected behavior? I'm using a Ledger account imported onto Polkadot-JS Apps. The UI is showing me that some of my account balances are locked under referenda/conviction voting. Normally, the UI would also show a separate subsection displaying which referendum I am voting on along with the multiplier applied, and the amount of time left before the unlock. However, this information is not currently displayed.

• What is the motivation for changing the behavior? I need to know which referendum's conviction voting has locked my balances, so that I can attempt to manually lift the locks through the "Developer >Extrinsics" tab.

• Please tell us about your environment:

This is account specific - which account? The 2 entries come from different storage areas -

• the first from the balances.locks
• the second from referenda.convictionVoting

So in the case of the account, it would seem that there is a lock on one and not the other.

Since you mention "doing it manually", it could have been that the ordering was incorrect, i.e. it should always be referenda.removeVote followed by referenda.unlock, they have separate functions. (This is what the action menu item on the account does - first removes the vote, then clears the lock)

Thanks for this critical info, @jacogr. 🙏🏿

I managed to find out how much time is left before the locks expire through another dapp. If the locks remain after this waiting period, I will be back to update this post.

Have a good week! 🌞
