Has this reproduced for you multiple times, or just the one time you shared below?

Thanks,

Hey Jon,

it is from a Teams Poll. And the response are opened on the Browser. The settings are untouched once a poll starts and it happens multiple times.

Best regards

  I just confirmed with developers. This was a bug and has been fixed and deployed as of 4/19
  
  This only impacted polls created from a certain endpoint and only when the poll was later accessed in the browser.
  
  Can you please let us know if this poll was created after 4/19 or if this reproduces on any new polls going forward?
  
  Thanks!
