I was actually going to suggest just this, Kåre! Another way to handle it, or perhaps an additional way, would be give a user's votes a certain amount of weight proportionate to the number of sessions they voted on. So if they evaluated all of them and voted, 100% of their vote gets counted. If they evaluated half, 50%, and so on? Not sure if this is worth the effort, but I know it's worked for various camps that I've been to which fall prey to the same problem.
