It's not even "Incognito" (what a misnomer too), this is a Gecko-based browser

It kind of makes sense for strawpoll, because without some sort of cookies, they wouldn't know if the same person is voting multiple times. But they should say something like 'incognito mode makes the votes inaccurate, please visit on normal mode'
One vote per IP-Address allowed.
They already have your IP. "Incognito" mode doesn't change that.
That does have the consequence of allowing only one person to vote per public IP, which on large networks may correspond to quite a lot of users.
That probably doesn't matter much for a simple internet straw poll, but I can imagine situations where IP-based uniqueness isn't reliable enough.
What if you have multiple people voting from the same place/public IP?
Device fingerprinting
That doesn't work for dynamic IPs
