Objection acknowledged.

The opavote system that we use to poll is used for binding political
elections. Once a poll is closed (which is automatic), there is no option to
re-open the poll (at least, none that I can see). I have looked, particularly
because of your objection on the matter, and because it would be far easier to
re-open the poll than it is going to be to process your objection.

We would have to throw away all of the votes of the people that voted and
re-run an entirely new poll to include your vote.

We will cover your objection to see if there is consensus to throw away all of
the votes and re-run an entirely new poll when we review the outcome (which
won't happen on the next call, but the one after that one).
