Salut Jalimon,
I searched in MERB history, and found the "OFFICIAL MERB nomination thread Best SP of the year 2016" opened on December 21, 2016 with nominations open until the end of the day Tuesday January 3, 2017.
More directly relevant, the "Poll best SP of the year 2016" started on January 4, 2017 and was open "until January 18, 2017 Midnight you have [two] week to do your vote".
It seems that two weeks was the norm, and I think it's fine. Given that everyone is hopefully planning to still be slightly hungover by January 2, I'd say the poll could close by January 3.
For your information, there were 150 voters best SP of the year 2016, so feel free to extend the voting period if you feel you don't have enough participants.
