Alternatively, give 60 votes for 30-day periods. Let them spend them when they wish, as they wish, but when those are done, that's it. Probably pretty easy to just throw down an inverse counter cookie that ignores IP, or some such brainy control over the output.

I like MostPopularSites' approach - the last time voted is available if you happen to vote too soon, so you can see how long you have to wait to be able to vote before. The only thing I don't like is the eensy teensy 2-pt type of the numbers you have to type in to confirm, but bless their hearts, they listen to my gripes and diatribe once a year anyway.

Flame on.
