Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I was creating a poll where it would be nice to weight the votes.

Describe the solution you'd like

So, A get 4 points, B gets 3, C gets 1 point and D gets 2 points. So in the end the vote with the most points will win. Basically, get points as much as the available choices. A-G you get 7 points for example.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It may be niche, so i'm not completely sure its worth implementing something like this. But it would be unique and could be of value sometimes :)

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the poll voting and result-calculation paths, then clarify how optional weighted or preferential votes should be represented and counted. Done means an agreed voting method is implemented without changing the existing voting behavior when the option is unused.
