This was a really obvious answer. I just deleted the array of hard coded categories and replaced it with an empty array. Categories automatically load fine now.

Here’s where I’m starting to build the form: make a list of checkboxes from previous answers and assign them to the $checkboxes[] variable.

if ( $poll_responses->have_posts() ) :
    while ( $poll_responses->have_posts() ) :
        $poll_responses->the_post();
        if ( have_rows( 'poll_answer', get_the_ID() ) ) :
            while ( have_rows( 'poll_answer', get_the_ID() ) ) :
                the_row();
                // print checkboxes for each existing answer
                echo '<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes[]" ';
                echo 'value="' . get_sub_field( 'answer', get_the_ID() ) . '">';
            endwhile;
        endif;
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_postdata();
endif;

// text or repeater field to add your own custom poll answer
// (this part works fine, values added as expected, show up in list of previous answers)

Then I save the checkbox answers and the new custom answers:

function dutchtown_save_poll_response( $post_id )
{
    if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) !== 'poll_response' ) : return; endif;
	if ( is_admin() ) : return; endif;
    
	$post = get_post( $post_id );

    if ( have_rows( 'poll_answer', $post_id ) ) :
        while ( have_rows( 'poll_answer', $post_id ) ) :
            the_row();
            $answer[] = get_sub_field( 'answer', $post_id );
        endwhile;
    endif;

    if ( ! empty( $_POST['checkboxes'] ) ) :
        for ( $i = 0; $i < count( $_POST['checkboxes'] ); $i++ ) :
            if ( $_POST['checkboxes'][$i] != '' ) :
                add_row( 'poll_answer', array( 'answer' => $_POST['checkboxes'][$i] ) );
            endif;
        endfor;
    endif;
}

The custom answers show correctly when the list is refreshed. The checkbox answers get inserted into the database, but show as blank both in the new checkbox list and when I go to look at the created post in wp-admin. I’m not sure where the disconnect is—or if I’m going about this all wrong.

I think I got it. Instead of

dutchtown_poll_form( $args ); // register form
acf_form( $poll_category ); // display form

I’ve set dutchtown_poll_form() to just return the registration values:

$args = dutchtown_poll_form( $args ); // returns values rather than registering
acf_form( $args );
