| On MyEtherWallet, the UI currently does not warn you if you have already voted on a proposal. Voting on a proposal twice will do nothing except spend ~150k in gas. This should be fixed in the future |

Technical
Voting
Every token holder can vote on a proposal by calling the vote function. This function has 2 parameters:
...
If the recipient, the amount and the transactionData match the proposal ID, the function will return true, otherwise it will return false (in Mist this denoted with code checks out). This will be used to verify that the proposal ID matches what the DAO token holder thinks they are voting on.
Executing
After the debating period is over, everyone can call the function executeProposal. The parameters are:
...
The function checks whether the voting deadline has passed and that transactionData matches the proposal ID. Then it checks whether the quorum has been met (see Eq. (1) for minQuorum) and if the proposal had a majority of support. If this is the case, it executes the proposal and refunds the proposal deposit. If the quorum has been achieved, but the proposal was declined by the majority of the voters, the proposal deposit is refunded and the proposal closes. In the case of a new Curator proposal, it does nothing but closes the proposal when 27 days have passed after the end of the debating period.

There are two possible reasons why it may be impossible to execute a proposal:
