Depends entirely on how it’s implemented. But almost certainly yes
Comment on Would lemmy benefit of implementing Polls?

Its a good idea, but how would that work with federation? There is already an issue with the number of upvotes on a post differing between instances. Would polls have the same problem or no?

Very good question, I have no idea how it could be implemented. I guess the question would have to be passed onto the developers of Lemmy. I’m sure they have already thought about it, but as you say probably difficult to implement due to federation.

Should be an option to allow/disallow non-instance users to vote. That’d be really useful here in sh.itjust.works for the Agora.

It would work the exact same way, i.e. every instance would have its own idea of the results, depending on what instances are (de)federated with.

It would be really neat to see the differences between instances that take part in the polls, I think it would work fine.

You would just view the poll on the instance you’re curious about and it would show the result from its perspective.
