Here are my queries..

  • What is the exact number of reputation required to vote in a moderator election?

    Is it like I should have the same amount of reputation on all the sites where I am a member. Or if I have sufficient reputation on one of the Stack Exchange sites, is that sufficient to cast votes?

  • What are the badges that one should possess in order to cast votes?

    Just like the candidates who are competing for the moderator election, should the voters need some basic badges in order to participate in the election?

You need 150 reputation on the site where the election is running (including the association bonus, if you have it). Your reputation on other sites doesn't matter.

No badges are required for voting in the election. I don't think there should be either. We want as many community members as possible to vote and reducing the number of eligible voters doesn't seem to make much sense. The reputation requirement is there to ensure some participation and investment in the site so that elections can't be adversely affected by bored outsiders, but requiring badges on top of that would be overkill.

See more information about the elections here.
