PErhaps we can think about creating a Chief Electoral officer position in the ranks of the thankless volunteer jobs for someone to handle and set this thing up, also as an ombudsman for issues that come up during the two rounds of voting.I think one of the problems we also need to resolve is that people want more than one thing out of their judges. The judges have a bunch of jobs:1. Picking the best products2. Publicly representing the image of the awards and the community in gaming media, online and in person3. Making the judging panel cohere as an effective team4. Doing additional volunteer work for the awardsI think that when people vote in the awards, based on past results, factors 2 and 3 tend to rank up there in the considerations of voters. It's not all about #1. We are electing something closer to a high school student council than a panel of game systems experts.</blockquote>
