“Anonymous” polls don’t really exist. Polls either show who voted, or they don’t. But admins can export the poll results (including voters) from the DB regardless - we even have a built-in query if you have the [Discourse Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-data-explorer/32566) plugin installed.
