As with the last few years, Ranked Choice Voting will determine the winner.
When voting, rank each of the seven finalists in order of awfulness. If one finalist receives more than 50% of first-choice votes, they will be declared the winner. If no finalist achieves a majority of first-choice votes, the counting will proceed in rounds. At the end of each round, the finalist with the fewest votes will be eliminated. If your first-choice finalist is eliminated, your vote will automatically go to the next highest-ranked finalist on your ballot. This process continues until one finalist receives a majority of first-choice votes or only two finalists remain, at which point the finalist with the most votes wins.
Voting closes on Dec. 16 at 11:59 PM (Eastern Time).
Share the ballot with your coworkers, friends, family, and social networks. I'll announce the winner (or loser, depending on your perspective) on Dec. 18.
