There is another topic about this request. Take a look here:

> [@Polls can't be altered (even by Moderators) after 5 minutes?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/polls-cant-be-altered-even-by-moderators-after-5-minutes/13393):

> Is this a setting somewhere? As I think moderators/staff should be able to alter a poll regardless of the time limit. What if a regular user creates a poll that is “unfitting” or one of the options isn’t permitted by forum rules?
