Vote.

Note that users wouldn't be allowed to change their votes if the poll expired, or if the poll/thread was closed.

Every once in a while, you see someone accidentally vote for the wrong option(s)... this feature would be useful to them. It would also be useful if the poll is edited and a new option is added (you don't have to reset the votes to add an option).

Yes, it could be useful for people who accidentally vote. Or if someone decides to change their opinion suddenly. But some people may not want people to cheat (for example the Hitler's death date thread). So I believe their should be an checkbox or radio button option in the Poll creation page with "I wish voters to be able to change their vote"…

Yeah, I thought about that, but I didn't post it because I'm lazy and don't want to work more... :p

Oh well, I'll edit this poll, add another option, and reset the votes.

Well, didn't get many votes, but I guess it's decided.

After I get these tester/translator images set up, I'll focus on polls again. :p

No, the feature would only allow the voter to change his/her own vote(s).
