up vote 3 down vote favorite

I just logged into meta.J.SE and was promptly notified that I had received the "Vox Populi" badge. This seems impossible as I have only voted 9 times all week. Bug? vote count (From my meta.J.SE user page)

Edit: It seems quite extensive: None of these people have used 40 votes all week. enter image description here

Me, too, here on meta.J.SE. But not on meta.SO (or J.SE). – msh210♦ Feb 22 at 22:34

@msh210 you probably didn't because you already got one there. You can only get one once. – HodofHod♦ Feb 22 at 22:35
@HodofHod Silly me. thanks for editing that in – Double AA Feb 22 at 22:36
I did not get one on meta.SO but that could be because I only have 20 votes total. It might be forgetting the 'per day' part. – Double AA Feb 22 at 22:37
@HodofHod, (re that I had one already) good point! :-) – msh210♦ Feb 22 at 22:38
I just got one on English.SE, but not on the meta there. Must be that it's forgotten the 'per day' requirement, as @DoubleAA said. – HodofHod♦ Feb 22 at 22:40

Thanks for the links, @HodofHod. Let me reiterate in bold so people know where to look: This is a duplicate of meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/123159, which will probably indicate resolution and other information before this question does. – msh210♦ Feb 22 at 22:40
Too bad it isn't giving me an Electorate badge for free! – Double AA Feb 22 at 22:40
@DoubleAA it is! meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/123159/… – HodofHod♦ Feb 22 at 22:43
@HodofHod I know, but it isn't giving me! :( – Double AA Feb 22 at 22:44

We just deployed a change that affects the voting badges. This is why you see a number of these badges being awarded.

For more information about this change, you can see this answer.

Note that there is a bug with Vox Populi only that is awarding too many of them, beyond the expected more for retroactive awards, and a fix is being deployed now. The erroneous awards there will be cleaned up shortly.
