VOTING TIMELINES
There are a total of four voting periods during which you may vote:

Note: Voting totals reset at the start of this Voting Period, so that contenders from the Original 10 and write-in contenders start off on the same footing. This is the only time in the voting when vote totals will reset.

• Place your vote by going to audiencechoice.ca or academy.ca/audiencechoice (the “Voting Website”). You will need to create a user profile in order to cast your vote by registering with your email. In an attempt to provide reliable policing of suspicious activity, we offer sign-in exclusively via email login. You agree  that only existing personal or business email addresses will be used for the purposes of fan voting. Creating new emails for the sole purpose of voting for the Cogeco Fund Audience Choice Award is considered cheating, and any votes suspected of being cast in such a way will be disqualified.
• By using the Voting Website, you acknowledge and agree that your activity on the Voting Website will be governed by and subject to the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
• The write-in option is only available during the first round of voting to determine the Final 10.
• For voting Period 2, 3, and 4, please note that social media voting is no longer being tabulated and is no longer considered an eligible voting method. All voting must be done via the Voting Website using a registered email address.
• Voters are allotted 100 votes per day through the Voting Website. A “day” is defined as the 24 hours beginning at midnight ET each day. Please note that if you are not in the Eastern Time zone, your voting period will still be 24 hours long, but will be running from midnight Eastern Time.
• Votes are verified through our online portal. Our system counts the total votes per day per nominee. The system then adds those daily votes together for the overall amount in that round.
• Voting is open worldwide – there are no geo restrictions.
• Employees of the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television, Smiley Guy Studios, or their affiliated companies, promotional partners, advertising agencies, and/or members of their immediate families (spouses, children, siblings, and parents, regardless of where they live) and/or persons living in the same household as such persons, whether or not related, are ineligible to vote.
