'time to determine who gets in registering feedback always?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'time to determine who' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'day' (day is a kind of time).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'determine who' becomes 'polling' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'day' put after 'polling' is 'POLLING DAY'.
