Oh neat; seems like Discourse has posted new polling options. 
Iām reading books, I promise. I need to make an update here soonā¦
I wonder if the ranked choice could be a new way to poll for book club reads?
Iām getting that same thing on desktop. I wonder if the URL I added to the poll option is fouling things up?
Hmmm, Iām a bit puzzled regarding the genre pollā¦ I selected everything, but I cannot cast my vote?! Send hƤlp 
I donāt think so? Otherwise they are wildly underestimating me (which I doubt).
I just read the first section, and it was weird, but nothing that would qualify as painful yet.
At the same time you donāt get the usernames hover any more when hovering over the avatars in the āstandardā polls 
Noticed that already a few weeks ago on WK but I thought that WK had hiccupāed with the forums - now it seems that the update landed here as well. This change is very very unhelpful in my opinionā¦
What does the number mean? Is it a rank (ie 1 is the best) or a score (ie 8 is the best)?
This is a ranked poll, I believe. So 1 is your top choice, 2 is your second favorite choice, etc. You can only use one number once, otherwise it wonāt let you submit.
Wait, no tie, then? Thatās annoying.
People already have trouble picking a top 5. Good luck getting them rank every book or even just rank their top five in order, right? 
Aha! That might explain thingsā¦ 
But I must say I find the interface highly unintuitive without detailed explanations 
I imagined I should select a number based on how much I like the options.
Sounds like an interesting option! Can you limit the number of non-abstain picks in a way? (And would that be necessary anyway?)
Oh but we would lose the percentage of all books, i.e. we wouldnāt be able to retire unpopular choices, I guessā¦
If you select āvotesā, you can still see who voted for what with what rank. I feel like low popularity items would still be somewhat obvious?
Edit: maybe notā¦
For the record, I donāt see a way to restrict number of Abstains.
I feel like the info given is very useful in very specific situations.
Iām also not sure what determines a āroundā:
If this is truly ranked voting, it works like this:
The first round works like a normal single vote system (using everyoneās rank 1 choice), and each subsequent round takes place after one option has been eliminated. In the real world, this type of voting system attempts to reduce ālesser of two evilsā voting that locks in a two party system because people think voting for a third party candidate that has no chance of winning is āwastedā. Now you can vote for a third party candidate as rank 1 and know that if/when they get eliminated you still get to vote for one of the two main candidates. Itās done via a ranked voting instead of run-offs to make the process more efficient.
What would determine a round in this case? Would I need to manually close the poll? Would it kick in only if someone sets an end date? You may not know, of course; just wanted to put the questions out there.
Enjoy!! There are certainly some fun parts, I was overly negative. 
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Important vocabularyā¦ 
One of the cycles @seanblue mentioned (counting everyone top options). It doesnāt kick in here since 4 out of 5 people selected fantasy (so it won on the first round)
It should all work automatically, updating after each person votes like usual.
