But just because you make another birthday poll for someone, it doesn't make it the same poll. Urbane asked for "favorite character", Brijesh can just ask something else.
Some polls are exclusively time based with built in expiration dates. EG. Which movie is the most likely to be nominated for a something something award? You can't really keep the poll open once those nominations have been announced. That would just be silly.
I think Tsar may have been referring to polls being closed by the Staff, which is not necessarily the same as inactive polls. There were over 800 polls based on character lists which became inactive after IMDb discontinued character lists in 2017.
Would you be kind enough to explain me why this poll was closed?

The poll was created 2 months ago, it started as a live poll 1 month ago but was recently closed.
I think it is an error. Many different polls were closed after a month.
As Tsarstepan argues above, it might make sense to close polls such as this one where the winner has already been announced.
About two month ago I also had the problem, that polls which have run good were closed instantly after a month. They are not opened again. I'm sad about that. Can't they re-open these polls which were accidentaly closed? I hope the problem does not exist anymore. How about re-pushing them? Might that solve the problem?

Polls that are inactive may be old polls based on character lists. They can possibly be remade in another form.
If there are specific polls you are not sure about, you can ask about them.
