Can I vote multiple times on the same poll?
Yes! You can use your free first vote, daily votes, and influence credits all on the same poll to maximize your impact.
What happens if I run out of votes?
You always have your free first vote on every poll, so you can never be completely out of votes. Daily votes reset each day, and you can always purchase influence credits.
