Allowing participants to vote on their own ideas

Started 2026-04-27 by JLR

We created polls for ideas that we later used for straw voting to create a list of ideas that would be part of a final vote. We didn't want participants to elevate their own ideas in the straw vote but do want them to be able to vote on them now, should they have been selected for the final list. However, we now don't see a way to remove that restriction in the final voting poll (it doesn't seem to be an option). Is there a way to do this?

Hi,
You should be able to uncheck "disallow voting of own ideas" when it is a PollUnit without voters. If it has already voters, you could clone it and then uncheck the setting.
Kind regards
Philipp
