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? user's vote count (From my meta.J.SE user page)

Edit: It seems quite extensive: None of these people have used 40 votes all week. list of those recently awarded the vox populi badge

    Apparently, there's a network-wide bug: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/123165/… meta.stackexchange.com/questions/123166/… meta.stackexchange.com/questions/123159/…

    @msh210 you probably didn't because you already got one there. You can only get one once.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Thanks for the links, @HodofHod. Let me reiterate in bold so people know where to look: This is a duplicate of meta.stackexchange.com/questions/123159, which will probably indicate resolution and other information before this question does.

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.
