Provide an option to hide results until the poll is stopped.
Hi, I love this website. My only issue right now is that I dont want my students to see the results before everyone has voted (so they dont just vote for the popular choice). Thanks!

Feedback to Incorrect answers
Allow for polls to have comments and feed back messages. Like if someone selects Choice A for a question. Allow them to receive a message explaining why A is correct or incorrect directly to their device.
3 votesYou can do this today! It’s part of our Custom Reply Message feature. This is a feature you can apply to any poll question. It will send a customizable message to your participants including whether they got the answer correct or not.
It does have a character limit of about 120 responses though. You can read more about how to set it up here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/support/articles/response-settings/custom-reply-message

Rearranging polls within a group
When I am rearranging the polls within a group, it is terribly frustrating that it jumps me to the top of my list of group with a message under each one that the group has to be expanded in order to drag to a poll to it. The page should not jump and I should be able to drag/drop by polls within a group without having to scroll back down to the group.
3 votesThis is FIXED! Our very own Brad Lindsey worked over the weekend and knocked a problem we thought would take much longer.
If you go to rearrange a poll now, none of the groups will immediately expand. If you drag the poll over a collapsed group and pause for a few seconds, the group will expand and allow you to drop the poll there.

Multi-national participants in a live event
Easier ways for participants from multiple countries to participate in a live polling event, by using one simplified number
3 votesUnfortunately, there is not really a great way to do this for SMS messaging. We do have several Regional phone numbers that your audience may use which will work for a collection of countries. However, these numbers are based in the USA, UK, and Australia so anyone who is using a phone that is not based in those locations may get charged an international text messaging fee depending on the cell phone’s service plan (this is not a fee controlled by Poll Everywhere). These regional numbers are available and you can read more about them here if you are interested: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guides/presenter/getting-started#international-polling
Otherwise, we really highly recommend multi-national audiences use our web response method. This is free for all participants to use and will work anywhere in the world provided they have an internet enabled device or data plan.

Responder follow up
Allow post-presentation responding to questions, answers, etc.
3 votesI would recommend using our Survey feature to get post-presentation feedback or follow up. If you have all of your poll questions organized in a Group > at the end of your presentation you can then Convert the group to a Survey > Activate all of the poll questions in the group by making it a Survey. All of your poll questions with then appear right on your regular pollev.com/USERNAME page
The whole thing is about 2 button clicks, I promise!
For some more information and helpful screenshots on surveys you can check out this article: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/160748

It would be helpful to be able to use superscripts and subscripts for only part of an answer (specifically for chemical formula)
The LaTex option is nice, but it doesn't address the need for superscripts and subscripts in chemical formula, where you only want it for a portion of the answer.
3 votesOur new inline LaTeX integration will support this! you can have subscripts and superscripts in LaTeX in the poll question and answer choices.
$$CO_2$$
Would be: CO₂
You can see get more detailed instructions for our inline LaTeX for math or chemistry here: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/891297

Make multiple polls live
I would like to be able to make multiple polls live at the same time, so that students can answer for instance 5 questions at once and then we can review them together. Instead of taking on poll at a time.

Suggestion: download option on Participants list
I use PE for a large university class. I have 7 pages of registered voters, and It would be handy to have a download feature on the Participants list.

Editing a poll strips quotations from responses
I am creating polls that ask programming questions, so omitting quotation marks changes the meaning a great deal. When I create a poll using the popup dialog, it retains the leading and trailing quotes in my responses, but if I later edit the poll, the quotes are stripped and any attempt to re-add them is ignored. I am using Chrome 21.0.
