The rules for editors:[1]

You may vote from any one registered account you own on a Wikimedia wiki
(you may only vote once, regardless of how many accounts you own). To
qualify, this one account must:

   - not be blocked on more than one project; and
   - not be blocked on the project you are voting from; and
   - not be a bot <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bot>; and
   - have made at least 10 edits before 1 August 2011 across Wikimedia wikis
   (edits on several wikis can be combined if your accounts are unified into
   a global account <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Unified_login>)


You get one vote, Milos. Your bots do not get to vote. Your auxiliary
account does not get to vote, unless you forego voting on your main
account.
