I see there is a VoxPopuli badge that requires 40 votes in a day, while at the same time it looks to me there is 30 vote cap a day. What is the deal here?

3$\begingroup$ @ArthurFischer Does your comment mean that MSE now officially refers to Meta.SE and not to Math.SE? I think this is a contentious issue that should be decided by community in the course of a constructive discussion, not in an off-hand comment by a moderator.

If you vote only on questions, you can reach 40 votes.
And if I remember correctly, you can vote as long as you don't get the "five last votes" warning. So if you reach 24 votes, you can just vote for questions from here on end.

$\begingroup$ Also, if you vote on a question/answer that's subsequently deleted, you can go over 40. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 13, 2014 at 0:16
You can get 40 votes a day if at least ten of them (one-fourth the total) is on questions.
The limit is 30 votes a day on answers. But you must get in your ten question votes before the countdown starts on answers, fifth from the 30th in order to get the ten question vots.
