Please read Patrick Nielsen Hayden\u2019s blog<\/a> for full details on the nature of some major problems with this year\u2019s Hugo nominating ballot.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve heard thus far: Although the Hugo Awards Administrator has yet to formally reply to the concerns, many people familiar with the process expect that the ballots will be revised and re-issued. My understanding is that voters may want to hold off casting ballots for a couple of weeks (at least) while the situation gets sorted out in the Editor and Best Professional Artist categories. If this remedy does in fact occur, I think it\u2019s a good thing. Although it\u2019s unfortunate that the errors occurred in the first place, it says good things about the process that they can be remedied, if such a solution does occur.<\/p>\n

Right now, my understanding is that only LA Con IV members received the faulty ballots. Members of Nippon 2007 have not received their ballots yet. It\u2019s certainly not a panic situation, but for now, I guess we all need to wait before we cast our nominations. I\u2019m glad I haven\u2019t submitted mine yet. If I hear any confirmed updates on this matter, I\u2019ll share them here.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
