Notifications of polls are intended to inform the user of the fact that a new poll has been published on the web interface or that the deadline by which the poll needs to be completed will soon expire.

It is possible to set up two notifications about polls in the Notification / Notification Settings section:

• • New Polls - informs about new published poll
