# get_poll

Read one exact Discord poll from a separately allowlisted channel. Returns bounded question, answer, expiry, lifecycle, and aggregate result evidence transiently without fetching voter identities or persisting Discord content. Answer IDs are preserved exactly and need not be sequential; absent results remain explicitly unknown.
