How many times can someone vote?
It is intended to have registered votes only. All voters will have to login via social media in order to vote for your entry.
What happens if someone tries to vote twice for an entry?
It is not possible to click twice on the "vote" button but you can vote via your different social media profiles!
Can I vote for yourself?
It's a fair guess that most entrants will vote for themselves, so why shouldn't you?
Who knows who voted for whom?
You need to log in to vote via your Social Media account(s). Entrants have no idea who voted for them, or even how many votes they received. Even the administrators of Australian Timber Design Awards only see a tally of votes which is meaningless, they see no personal details or anything else to identify you. The judges are not involved with and do not have access to any data about The People's Choice Award.
