Good point - a poll is not suitable for a demotion vote. We can't see who actually voted, and so we can't check if someone put in unfair votes with sockpuppet accounts.

If anyone needs to, they can copy the Support/Oppose/Neutral templates to their community and have their participants use them in any future votes on your wikia. They make it a lot easier to count votes in the end: Template:Support Template:Oppose Template:Neutral
