UPDATE: I am unable to get the next poll out on time due to IRL events. As such, I am postponing the closing time for this poll by 24 hours. It is now set to close at 5:00 PM on March 28th, 2025 (US Eastern time). Apologies for the inconvenience.

Can you check if I have voted in this? I recognize the pieces but I'm not sure if I voted this round or the previous.

Since this poll was new as of yesterday, you should be fine to vote. If you saw the pieces earlier I think it's because they were in the 1st or 2nd rounds.
