When the polls starts, a first message will be sent in the chat, from the account of the user creating the poll.
 
A banner will also appear to show the poll, and will be updated regularly with the current votes.

Viewers can then vote by clicking on their choice, or by sending message like "!1" in the chat.
 
Votes counts will be updated regularly in the banner.
 
Viewers can change their vote at any time, just by making a new choice. Their precedent choice will be replaced by the new one.

Anonymous viewers can only vote once they have choosen their nickname.
 
If "{{% livechat_label poll_anonymous_results %}}" is checked, votes won't be shown to other users. If unchecked, votes will be publicly visible as you will see message like "!1" in the chat.
 
For viewers using XMPP clients or outdated livechat plugin versions, the banner will not be visible. But they will see the message in the chat and will be able to vote by sending messages with their choices.
 
When the poll ends, a new message will be sent in the chat, with the results.

The only way to get old polls results is to search for the poll end message in the chat. For now, polls results are not saved by any other means. So don't forget to note polls results if you want to keep them.
