Regarding voting as often as you like, we have this from the folks at the Volvo-for Life awards!

Hi Robin,

You can vote for as many heroes as you like, as often as you like. Although multiple votes are allowed, we have technology in place to prevent the use of “robots” and other mechanized systems of voting. We don't want to be police, we want to create awareness throughout the 25 weeks the voting is in progress of the work of all 250+ heroes on our ballot.

Good luck and thank you again for being apart of this amazing program.
