Over at the [Fairphone Forum](https://forum.fairphone.com/) we are still running Version 1.2.0.beta3. (and in the admin panel it says that’s the latest version, but that’s another issue) I’m wondering if we can update our existing polls to [fancy new polls](https://meta.discourse.org/t/a-better-poll-bar-chart-feature/28008) without loosing the already submitted votes when the forum software gets updated. ---

Yes, you will need to run the `poll:migrate_old_polls` rake task. SSH into your server and then ```plaintext cd /var/discourse ./launcher enter app rake poll:migrate_old_polls ``` ---
