There's a glitch in the ballot. When you vote in the "Outstanding" and then submit, the software tells you that you've already voted in the "Best" ballot, even if you haven't. However, exiting and reentering the ballot seems to allow you to vote again.

opposite problem
I voted for both halves but there is no button or other indication to show I have finished, and indeed I get the message to vote again when I log in./

Does the message appear when you are logged in as well? It should only appear if you are not logged in or if you haven't voted yet.

right but there is no "signoff" after you vote
that says something like "thanks for voting" or whatever. But I see from my handle that it says I voted so I guess it worked.

Error message received
I've attempted to vote numerous times while logged in, using both Firefox and Safari. But in each instance I get the following message:
"There was an error saving your vote. Please try again later."
Any suggestions?
