Congrats on your karma bump, have you followed the steps mentioned on the previous page?

Just to help people who are having problems and haven't seen the previous replies, your entitlement to vote is linked to your maemo.org account. If you go to the following link (first replacing the XXXX with your maemo.org username) you will see if you are registered, what date you registered is on the top right corner, and how much 'karma' you have. (thanks to Wikiwide for this tip on the previous page ).

http://maemo.org/profile/view/XXXX/

If you have not received a voting email with your token, please check your maemo.org account details using the link above as a first step. Check your karma amount, do you have some and is it below 10? Check the date of registration, are you newly registered? These are the most likely reasons you wouldn't have received a voting email and token.

Part of the confusion seems to be because of the infrastructure setup at maemo.org and talk.maemo.org. Right now we're all on talk.maemo.org which is the forums, however it is almost a seperate entity from the maemo.org site which is all the other stuff non-forum related (things like the competition wiki, or the garage pages, etc). It's like two different things lumped together. This is why we keep asking you all to manually link your talk.maemo.org and maemo.org accounts so your karma from the forums is carried across. What is catching a few people out is that they have been registered on talk.maemo.org for a long time and never realised they had to be registered on maemo.org to take part in other site activities such as the vote until recently. It is confusing, I do sympathise

On the other hand, if you have checked your account and you have been registered for a while now (probably a few months, if you think of when the competition submissions started) and you have some karma on your account but still didnt get a voting email please let me know so i can chase that up. As far as i'm aware everyone who fulfills the above criteria as of two nights ago will have already received their email and vote token.
Edit: Your maemo.org account was only created 2 weeks ago, so it appears you've been filtered out as a new account member - sorry
