Announcing the leader / Winner of a Poll
The nature of polls is that they do not end so people can continue to vote indefinitely.
If you plan to select the most preferred option / leader from a poll on a particular date / time, set this expectation in the update. For example, the leading option at Wednesday at 1pm could differ to Friday at 1pm if people continue to vote after that time.
