-A poll starts when a valid transaction with a question is posted on-chain and ends at the end of the following epoch, so there's always at least one entire epoch for answering the poll.
+A poll starts when a valid transaction with a question is posted on-chain. Ballots can be submitted until the end of the following epoch, so there is always at least one whole epoch to answer the poll.
 
-In particular, the stake distribution of pools will be considered at the moment the poll is _started_.
+After the epoch in which the Stake Pool Operators have cast their votes, there follows a period of one or more epochs in which the ADA Delegates may respond: If they disagree with the choice of their current Stake pool, they can delegate to another pool. This changes the stake weight and thus influences the result.
