This is what is said about the Community Votes from cg, as posted in the "We're Alive" discussion talking about all the new features.
"Community Voted
On the homepage you'll occasionally see a poll with the heading, Community Voted. We'll be importing a variety of game keys into the database, and the site will select three at random each day, and generate a poll. After the poll ends 24 hours later, the site will automatically create a 24 hour giveaway for the game with the highest votes. You'll be able to spot these giveaways in the list, because they have a thumbs up icon next to them."
So it seems like they put keys into the system, then the system randomly selects 3 to be voted on. Once the vote ends, the game picked will be made into a 24 hour giveaway.

Does the winner get given away by the owners of the website or does it just show what the community wants in the hope someone will give a copy away?
