Hugo Voting Glitch

CoNZealand has reported a bug in the Hugo Award-voting interface that may lead to some votes not being recorded:

This mostly seems to happen when using the Safari browser on a Mac, but we have a couple of reports from other browser/device combinations.

  • If you received an email confirmation after voting, your votes have been entered into the system and you should not be concerned.
  • If you did NOT receive the email confirmation, please log back into the system and confirm that your votes have been recorded. If they have not, please try again using a different browser/device combination, preferably Chrome, as we have not had any reported problems from Chrome users. If you continue to have problems or need further assistance, please contact hugohelp@conzealand.nz

You may also vote by downloading the fillable PDF ballot, filling it in, and emailing it to hugo-ballot@conzealand.nz. Please note that a typed name is acceptable for the signature line – you do NOT need to print, sign and scan your ballot.
