Flash Voting
As well as the main voting site, we’ll also be running daily flash voting during the voting period (December 18-January 3). You’ll only have 48 hours to vote in each flash vote – so act fast.
The daily WeChat flash votes will be tallied up and awarded on a weighted scale, with 100 votes going to first place, 50 votes to second place and 25 votes to third place.
These votes will then be added to the total votes from the main voting site – so be sure to vote on both!
