Disgusting... I'm appalled that you've even listened to the ideas of the group of players in this game who want more restrictions on voting because they somehow believe it will lead to certain poll questions going in their favor.
Disgusting.
Mmhmm. If you make a list of all the players whose opinions we can listen to, do post it. Then all the other customers will know their opinions don't matter, so they can save themselves the hassle of posting.
Meanwhile, we have a 280 skill total requirement on the polls.
Maybe, if we had more flexibility about what the requirements were, we could remove the skill total requirement altogether, and replace it with a check for who's been spending time playing OSRS. Which is a lot closer to what you described in your post, where everyone who plays OSRS gets to vote, regardless of whether they get their levels up.
Or maybe you feel that the 280 requirement is perfect, and it's disgusting that I'd even be willing to admit I'd heard an alternative suggestion.

Would we be able to possibly feature more polls with this, rather than having a large dev blog for small QOL updates that often don't get any explanation in the dev blog.
I assume we'd have the polling booths based on the polls current outcome, and if they had something to show that there were polls we hadn't voted on yet - or when we login it tells us there are new polls for us to vote on.
I think we'll still be locked to 1 poll running at a time. However, there's no rule saying they have to be very long ones with lots of questions. It's just a sight easier for us to coordinate polls - and to set aside some dev-time for offering bigger projects - if we don't have the polls running non-stop into each other.
There'll definitely be something to tell a player "There's a poll open in which you have not voted". I'd initially been thinking of using the MOTW for this, since it seldom shows anything very important. But we can do other things as well, or instead. If it's a poll booth, I'd be tempted to make it light up somehow for players who need to vote.
The one thing I'd like to avoid is a notification that looks like a pop-up advert.
