An answer of a poll that takes more than one is drawn with a tick beside it, and the tick is what says whether it is chosen. Nothing of it reached a screen reader: the option read the same whether it was ticked or not, which leaves a poll of that kind unusable. Beside the bar of an answer that has been voted on there is a count as well as a share, and only the share was said. Give an option that can be ticked the kind of a check box and its state, so the tick is spoken as state in the words of the screen reader, and put the count beside the share. A press on an option went straight to sending a vote whatever the option was, so an answer of a poll that takes more than one was sent on its own instead of being ticked, and an answer of a poll already voted in was voted for again instead of opening the menu it has. Do what a press on the option itself does. Hold a press on an option and a menu opens with who added it, quoting it and removing it in it. Nothing offered that to a screen reader either.

Problem
In a poll that allows multiple answers, each option has a checkmark that shows whether it is selected. TalkBack reads the option the same way whether it is selected or not, so this kind of poll cannot be used. Also:
Fix
In
ChatMessageCell:Testing
With TalkBack on, send a poll that allows multiple answers and swipe onto an option.
Before: it read the same whether ticked or not, and double tap sent a vote. After: it reads as a checkbox with its state, double tap ticks it, and the vote is sent with the button below.
