why would you want to unvote?

The chocolate ration has always been 20 grams a week.

I'm clearly missing something here. I have the same exact question specifically for the OP's situation. I don't see how poll votes can matter that much.

Since votes are anonymously presented on forum I presumed they were also for admin.

Admin has no business what my anonymous votes are.

I find this an invasion of privacy.

There should be a disclaimer next to each poll: 'please be aware that admin can check your vote if they care'.

FTFY

Saying they can see it implies it's right in front of them when they look, it'd take a little bit of work to find it.

May Bitcoin be touched by his Noodly Appendage

I believe it's an option when the OP creates the poll

Thanks.

I see that I voted on 100 polls. How can I find these polls back and remove my vote?

If you replied to most threads where you voted you can easily find them here: LINK

Thanks so much

I can't see how to cancel my vote. Not even when the poll is still open.

Is it even possible to cancel your vote?

There is usually a Remove Vote link, but maybe it goes away after a while.

In statistics of user you see that the forum remembers how many polls you participated in.

But can the admin or anyone else (hacker) see what option a certain user voted?

I would bet they can. If not on a pretty page in the admin area, at least by seeing it in the database.
The forum software only let's you vote once in each poll and it also let's you remove your vote, so it is indeed registered in the database who voted where and what.
