Comment:

I'm not sure that this change makes the message less confusing: WMF usage of 
the extension is particularly complex because it relies on a third party hence 
it required 
[http://wikimedia.amellus.net/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Securepoll-not-logged-in&oldid=7
 this] rephrasement («You've not been recognized by the system. Make sure that 
you've followed the instructions on [...] and that you've enabled cookies for 
this domain»); but in general, while it's true that logging in is a 
requirement, it's usually not true that every registered user can vote, so 
inviting unregistered users to register (implying that they'll then be able to 
vote) seems confusing.

On a side note, "[having an] account" is not consistently translated, at least 
in Italian, where it may need to be translated as "being registered", and the 
usage of an adjective makes the message not gender neutral and would require 
<nowiki>{{GENDER}}</nowiki>.
