I updated all Best Actor polls from Best Actor 1968 to date and Best Actress from 2011 to date.
Any plans to do Supporting Actor?
When I have time.

The cut-off date appears to be May 25, 2011. That was the day the Best Actor of 1968 poll was created. Eventually all Best Actor polls from 1968 on, all Best Supporting Actor and all Best Picture and Director should be able to be changed once the option is allowed.

That means that even if we change the option on the early polls including Best Actress of 1947 and Bess Supporting Actress of 1952, votes can't be changed. The cut-off seems to be sometime before 2011. Best Actress and Supporting Actress are cooked, but Best Actor, Supporting Actor, Picture and Director should be able to be changed once the option is set.
Not a big deal at all. Guess we're not allowed any revisionism which is appropriate since the Oscars themselves never allow for any.

Correction: it works on most recent posts but, for example, if I wanted to switch my vote on Best Actress 1947 or Best Supporting Actress 1952, etc., I am not able to.
Probably an archival thing.
It will work on any poll where the option to change votes was invoked when the poll was created or changed to allow that option by a moderator. When I have time I'll go back and invoke the option on all the previous Oscar polls. For now, I'll just change the two you cited.
Thank you so very much. But, for the record, I clicked those two for no particular reason.

My original votes were to Robert Altman and M*A*S*H, but after some growth and reconsideration, I should change them to Ken Russell and Five Easy Pieces, easily the best offered in this selection. In general, I can't change my vote in any poll. Thank you all.
The option is there. Did you uncheck your original choices as well as checking your new ones?
I don't know how to do that. Unchecking is not possible for me. Maybe it has something to do with my board status. I'm sorry for bothering, but I've been wondering about this for quite a while. Has someone else the same problem?
