Upsert with conditional on Boolean field

I’m trying to write a conditional upsert with DQL that will only cast a vote on a poll if the poll voting is still open and the user does not already have an existing vote, something like:

upsert {
  query {
    poll(func: uid(pollUID)) {
      pollID as uid
      votingOpen as Poll.votingOpen
    }
    user(func: uid(userUID)) {
      User.pollResponses {
        PollResponse.poll @filter(uid(pollUID)) {
          existingVotes as uid
        }
      }
    }
}
  mutation @if(eq(len(existingVotes), 0) AND eq(val(votingOpen), true)) {
    set {
      # proceed to create new poll vote/response
    }
  }
}

The check for the length of existing votes works as expected, but the check of whether the poll is open does not. Am I missing something here? My best guess is that votingOpen variable is really an array of booleans and therefore never equates to true, though I can’t think how I could recreate that logic if that is the case.

Any suggestions would be very welcome, I feel like this should be a pretty reasonable thing to want to be able to do.

All logic besides len() should be done in the Query blocks, not in the mutation one.
e.g.

votingOpen(func: uid(votingOpen)) @filter(eq(val(Poll.votingOpen), true){
      VO as uid
    }

mutation @if(eq(len(existingVotes), 0) AND eq(len(VO), 1))

Thanks for that info that is helpful for me better understanding how to structure these types of queries.
