Description

Describe the goal you'd like to achieve

A non-nextcloud-registered-user receives a public poll-link and fills in the poll. A few hours after filling the poll, the user wants to make a change. This is not possible in an easy way at the moment.

Describe possible solutions

There should be an option 'make poll editable by everyone'
I know: users must trust each other, to not change other votes.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing how public poll links identify and authorize unregistered respondents, then review the existing poll-editing flow. Done means an unregistered participant can safely edit their own response through a public link without gaining broader poll control.
