Morphology

unpolled = polled (transparent) = un + poll + ed

The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the meaning of 'polled', making it transparent.

Etymology

Unpolled comes from un- 'not' and poll 'vote' or 'head', the same poll we use for a survey. So unpolled people or places are 'not' asked in a poll and were not surveyed.
