Hi there

I can't see who voted for what on a poll I created in a email template.

    Dear @Hador Abdi,

    Good day! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum! 

    Based on your description, I understand that in New Outlook, you’re unable to view who selected each option in the poll you created within an email template.

    Regarding this situation, I have tested it on my end, and here is the result:

    When I inserted a Poll when I created a new email, at first, I didn't tick on this option: "Record names of respondents" at the bottom of the poll.

    So, when I exported the result, it only showed Anonymous for the respondents:

    Even in Microsoft Forms, the names wouldn't be shown as they weren't collected/recorded from the beginning:

    The next time, I sent another poll within the email, this time I ticked on "Record names of respondents" at the bottom of the poll.

    After collecting the responses, I went to Microsoft Forms, opened the Poll that I created in Outlook, click on View responses > More details > I could see the names of the respondents there:

    User's image

    Therefore, I suggest creating a new poll and ticking the Record names of respondents" option at the bottom of the poll so that you could see the results in Microsoft Forms.

    I hope this helps clearing things up!

    Kindly let me know when there are updates or if you need further assistance. Any updates you’re able to share would be really helpful. I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing how things are going! 

    Thank you for your time and patience.
