It’s time to vote.
As with last years awards, there will be a degree of manual labour with the voting stage… more so for me than you, but none the less, to avoid “electoral abnormalities” such as those that plagued the recent Ukrainian elections the system will NOT be overly automated. This ballot is to be a one vote per person event so you, the voter, will have to email me to register for the vote. In return I’ll enter your email address into the voting software and send you a confirmation email to let you know where and when you can vote. I hope to reply to each registration request within a 24 hours. A pain, I know, but none of us want a revolution now do we.
So YOU send me a registration request, I email you a set of links where you can vote, and then YOU click on the links and make your selections using the “Optional Preferential Voting System“.
*** PLEASE DO NOT:
- Post the registration request email address on your, or anybody else’s site.
- Forward the voting links to people.
A list of all the nominees for each category has been collated and can be found below. They’ve been listed in no specific order (each was assigned a random number and sorted accordingly). Now all that remains to be done is to check them out and vote…
[Update 06/01/05 12:56 – Due to some minor technical difficulties with the voting software, there will be a delay of approximately 24 hours before Registration Request will be processed. Sorry.]
[Update 25/01/05 22:42 – It would appear that the polls close a tad early, so the votes will be accepted up until midday tomorrow to allow people to get in their votes. However, registrations to vote have closed.]
