Here’s a large poll I participated in:

With that many options, it can be difficult to spot the items I voted for to check on how they’re doing, and I may even have forgotten a couple of the items I voted for. I could switch back to voting to see what I voted for, but that list’s order is different than the order of the results list, so it takes a lot of time to match up list items between views. It’d be great if there was some way to denote what I had voted for on the results view – highlighting for instance, like in this badly edited image:
