We have got a contest on our site using information collection to collect user votes.

One user can vote only once and Exponential allow it. There is my collect.ini:

[CollectionSettings]
CollectAnonymousDataList[contest_poll]=enabled
CollectionUserDataList[contest_poll]=unique

But i wouldn't like to show poll form for users who already voted.

I need to check that voting is forbidden not after second vote attempt but before it.

Is it possible to know that current user has voted already?

Collected information does not provide any extra logic, as far as I know. If you want to run a reliable poll/voting, you have to develop or use a custom extension for that.
