Rule or not, I would actually strongly recommend against that for two reasons: If you want the community to vote, I'd suggest doing it in a forum thread where people post a comment rather than vote in a poll. If you don't have a static IP address provided by your ISP, two minutes of broadband down after a router restart and you will have a new IP address assigned.
 * 1) Polls can be edited by anyone, regardless of whether someone has an account, and are anonymous. One person could vote under multiple accounts or multiple IP addresses; it's easily gamed, so the final vote may not actually be reflective of the will of the community.
 * 2) Front pages should reflect stability, and if you're talking about moving then that might give people pause about whether they should read or (especially) contribute here.
