Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
If the vow is uncertain among specific matters, one should act upon all of them. If that is difficult, one should fulfill the vow in a way that does not cause hardship, prioritizing the most likely option. If the uncertainty is not limited to specific matters, it suffices to fulfill some of the possible options in a way that does not lead to certainty of violating the known obligation.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If the subject of your vow is uncertain among specific matters, you should choose among them and act accordingly. If it is uncertain among non-specific matters, it suffices to do one of the actions that you might have vowed.
