No whenever you make a poll anyone can allow all to see or none to see. You also control the time you want the poll to end and then the numbers come up after that. You can choose how many options to vote for and can choose how many of those options you want the public to vote for a in numbers per poll. As you continue to scroll down the page these options come up.
This is all possible if using the Polling forum here and if not and you are using something else then talk with Mike.
