Recently brought up a poll with the ability of multiple votes per voter and recognized that the results chart shows a total of 'number of votes per voter times 100%' - so let's say they have three votes you get a total of 300% in the chart!
For my purposes, I had to normalize it to 100%. I could not find a suitable filter or hook, so I changed it in the plugin directly.
$percent = round(((($answer->answer_votes / $poll->poll_voters)/$poll->poll_votes) * 100));
I added the bold green marked items in sp-polls-components.php. I used $poll->poll_votes instead of $poll_maxanwers to get the real picture even if voters skip some of their votes.
I believe it should be changed to normalized 100% display.

I can see both sides of this coin... so will open a ticket on it for consideration - or at minimum, a hook...

Sorry,
I provided wrong code. I must be
$percent = round(($answer->answer_votes /$poll->poll_votes) * 100));
And to be precise -> this is not the full truth, because my testing yielded that $poll->poll_votes is not the real sum of all $answer->answer_votes but a simple multiplication of $poll->poll_voters * $poll->poll_maxanswers meaning that skipped votes are not reducing the total. This way, you get a percentage per answer of the max possible votes, not of the really submitted votes.
I think, rightfully it should be the latter one, but could not find a variable including this information.
Thanks for considering to change.

next version will have a filter that you can custom the percentage calculation for yourself... still think in most cases, the current calculation is right - want to know % of voters that voted for a choice vice that answer % versus all votes (whether including not selected entries or not)... but as I said earlier, can see some specific types of polls where that might be what you want... filter will let you do that...
