People voting the day before are likely because they can't make the
meeting so they won't see the presentations or discussion. Thus they
should be considered not a valid opinion and barred from voting?

They can't have prior or independently obtained data to form an
opinion?

Those registered to attend the meeting could be blocked from voting
prior to the presentation. You might have to force them to be in the
room and not have their fingers in their ears too

I don't think early voting should be an issue, usually
it's hard enough to get people to vote at all so best
not to discourage those that will.
