I have no clue on how to get rid of this run time error whenever I vote in the survey.
That's a bit more complicated than I can bear.
Here's a simpler way to count votes.
Keep a dictionary, with keys = flavors, and corresponding values the total number of votes for that flavor. Use 0 as a default, if no one has voted for that flavor (carpet fudge) yet.
The disctionary shoud start out empty.
When some one registers a vote for a flavor, use the dictionary set and get blocks for that flavor, adding 1 to the value (0 if missing) and replacing it under that flavow.
When it comes time to rank the flavor votes, there is a dictionary block to convert a dictionary into a two column table (list of lists).
Use one of the advanced list blocks to sort the two column table by column 2 (vote count), in descending order.
The first resulting row will have the name and votes of the most popular flavor.

Concerning the Error, somewhere along the line your code is trying to select item zero in a List. Item zero does not exist, Lists start at Item one.
your error is here
Elements is a list and not a thing, so the index is 0 (i.e. the thing has not been found in the list)

okay thank you, do you know how i can change the flavor picker elements then?
Sorry, I did not understand what you are doing
Please elaborate
Use Do it to debug your blocks
If you want to find the index of an item in a list, then you should look for that specific item instead of a complete list
Use the companion app and Do it to debug your blocks, see also tip 4 here App Inventor: How to Learn | Pura Vida Apps
