Website and mobile voting are limited to 100 votes per user. You may assign those votes however you wish. You can give them all to one housemate, or you can share them out to multiple housemates. It’s your call. That’s why they’re called “your votes”.

Voting on the website and on mobile is free, but you will need to pay for any data you consume while voting.
