Or make it linear (max of X possible votes at any one time, regenerating at a fixed rate of N per hour, within 24 hours of no voting you are at your max).
Exponential decay can be nice for this kind of thing since it is very low overhead - only need to track when the last successful vote occurred, and the number of votes they had left at that time.
Unfortunately that isn't the case - that is, they aren't necessarily alcohol based, you should check the packaging to be sure. Both sets of disinfecting wipes we have in our house turn out to be non-alcohol based (Benzalkonium Chloride 0.115% in one, Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride 0.184% in the other).
I can't speak to whether or not they will be necessarily effective, but https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/show-me-the-science-hand-sanitizer.html suggests that even on hands (and coronvirus seems to have a shorter life on your hands than on a piece of steel, for example) accidental misuse is a strong possibility.
