we are running a poll and would like to extract the list of users who voted on each option without doing it manually when it closes - is there an addon or way that anyone knows that could do that? Thank you in advance!

Yes, admins can export poll results to a CSV file easily for almost a year now:

> [@Poll: Export poll results in CSV for quiz creator?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/poll-export-poll-results-in-csv-for-quiz-creator/94265/7):
>
> This is now available for staff by default on polls: You need the latest version of Discourse and Data Explorer plugin enabled for it to work. You can also customize the CSV output by writing a new query and changing the query ID for the export in settings.
