Edit Existing Group Me Polls without Losing Responses

Description:

Currently, once a poll is created in GroupMe, it cannot be edited. This can be problematic if the poll creator makes a mistake, such as a typo, missing option, or unclear wording. Additionally, there may be instances where the creator wants to adjust the poll to guide responses in a certain direction without resetting the vote count.

Proposed Solution:

Enable poll creators to make minor edits to existing polls while preserving responses. This could include:

• Editing the poll question

• Adding or modifying response options

• Adjusting the poll duration

To maintain fairness, GroupMe could notify participants when changes are made and provide an option to re-cast votes if necessary.

Benefits:

• Fixing Mistakes: If the creator accidentally includes a typo or omits an important option, they can correct it without restarting the poll.

• Clarifying Questions: A vague or misleading poll question can be refined to ensure participants fully understand it.

• Guiding Responses: In some cases, the creator may want to subtly steer the poll in a particular direction without losing previous engagement.

This feature would improve usability and flexibility while keeping GroupMe polls engaging and relevant.
