Changes to Retro Hugo Ballot
The Hugo Award administrators have announced changes to the 1944 Retro Hugo ballot which affect the Best Fanzine category. Fantasy News has been removed, and Guteto has been added. The announcement says:
The Hugo Administrators have discovered an error in their tally of the nominations for the 1944 Retro Hugo for Best Fanzine.
In fact, Guteto, edited by Morojo (Myrtle R. Douglas) received enough votes to qualify for the final ballot; and Fantasy News, edited by William S. Sykora, did not.
We have accordingly revised the online ballot, and the downloadable ballot form, to reflect that Guteto is a finalist in this category, and that Fantasy News has been disqualified. Write-in votes for Guteto on previously printed hard copy versions of the ballot will be accepted.
We apologise to voters, and to the estates of Myrtle R. Douglas and William S. Sykora, for the inconvenience.
The deadline for votes on the Hugo final ballot is 11.59 pm, Pacific Daylight Time, on 31 July.
For more information, see the Hugo Awards website.
