either you update the session with a counter and forbid voting if that variable is > some limit (but as soon as the session is erased (e.g. a clean cookie operation) the user will be able to vote again) or you build up on request.env.remote_addr (that is the ip address requesting the page) something that forbids voting. Be careful with request.env.remote_addr because several users can use the same ip address cause they're behind a NAT (e.g. universities, companies, China :D).
Given that you require registration to access the site, the safest way is to save the amount of votes linked to the auth_user.id in a table and use that as a filter condition.
