Is this some kind of "in-crowd" filter?
Have you received your voting email Nexus7? That's where the link is to the vote is. The contents of the email was confirmed last night, it just hasn't been added to the wiki yet, but it's hardly a secret - the same link is used for every election style vote on maemo.org

Very simply, it's http://maemo.org/vote/

Here's the email contents (crafted by Woody i believe, thanks Woody!) for those yet to receive it:

Dear 'member of the incrowd',

The 2012 Maemo.org Coding Competition elections are now open,
and you have received this email as you are eligible to vote. Please note that there are 7 distinct topics/categories, each with their own election, and each with multiple prizes to be awarded.

A full list of candidates, prizes, and rules can be found at:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_coding_competition_2012

Discussions on the competition are at:

HOW TO VOTE
-----------
Voting will run from September 19th through September 27th 2012, 23:59 UTC.

Your voting credentials are:

URL: http://maemo.org/vote/
E-mail: XXXXXX
Vote token: XXXXXX

After authenticating yourself for a category, you can choose your
preferred candidates in order of preference. You will have an opportunity to verify and confirm your vote afterwards.

Once you have confirmed your vote, a unique secret identifier will be given to you which will allow you to verify after the election that your vote was counted correctly.

Once you have voted, you will not be able to vote in the same category/election again. The same token should be used in all categories/elections, but will only allow one vote per category/election.

Thank you for your vote(s)!
^^ The XXXXXX's will be replaced by your email address and super secret voting token.

A word about the super secret voting token - nobody knows what your token is unless you tell someone (please don't tell anyone, or else don't blame me when random votes appear for that app you really hate ). It's the same token for each of the categories.
