How does one vote?

Voting is simple, you just need to visit the category you would like to vote on, select the nominee and click on the vote button.

How many times can I vote?

One vote per category per device.

What if someone resets their cookies, uses a VPN and changes their IP address?

Once voting is closed the voting records are analyzed. All votes are tracked and suspicious behavior will result in:

1. A deletion of suspicious votes
2. Removal from the campaign

Does that really happen?

Absolutely – the 2018 campaign saw two winners lose top spot once the campaign closed and the votes were checked. After 4 years of campaigns we are well aware of the categories that will need monitoring.

I suspect someone in my category is cheating… what can I do?

Firstly, be assured, everything is tracked. If you are certain you can request a manual review of your category, simply email contact@expatriatesmagazine asking for a review (we will need to know the category name and the nominee under suspicion).

How do the percentages work? How is it possible someone jumped from 10% to 90%

This is a common question. As the results are shown in percentage terms, categories that have a low total number of votes will see larger changes in percentages. For example, a nominee with 1 vote in a category with a total of 10 votes will see 10%, in another category with 1000 votes, a nominee would need 100 votes to reach 10%.

How are people raising awareness 

The usual why nominees raise awareness is through communicating with their friends, family, customers, etc. Usually through social media, newsletters, and websites. How a nominee communicates is entirely up to them.

How many votes should we expect in this year’s campaign

Previous years saw the following vote counts:

• 2016 – 25,000
• 2017 – 92,000
• 2018 – 82,000

We expect the 2019 campaign to receive between 50,000 and 70,000 votes. This year will see less categories and a shorter voting period.
