Your use case

What would you like to do?

I want to know, who voted which poll option when I'm viewing the poll results.

Why would you like to do it?

Sometimes it is not enough to know, what the most popular option is, but also who voted for what. For example, if the question is "where to go for lunch?" there might be enough options to go to multiple separate places, but you will want to know who's going where.

How would you like to achieve it?

I propose to show the avatars of the voters on the poll options, if the number of possible voters is small enough. Additionally there should be an option to open a dialog that shows the voters of each option in a list, including their name.

Have you considered any alternatives?

  • Not showing who voted for what. May suggest being anonymous voting, but in reality anyone with access to the matrix events can still see who voted for what. The information is already there, it's just not displayed.
  • Using reactions to vote instead. Is not very user friendly.

Additional context

This will get even more beneficial with multiple choice polls element-hq/element-meta#2295 .
