Is there a time when voting starts or is it just some time on the 15th?

Hey Terry

So, the form should open up at 12:01a.m. on the 15th (or close to that depending on Annette)

Terry - I LOVE your enthusiasm! The K-Comm is very excited to get the final vote underway.

Re-reading is always a fun challenge!

Just voted. Really like the drop down menus. Are they new, or do I just not recall them from other years?

The drop down is at least a few years old. I don't remember when it started off hand. I feel like the first few Kerths I participated in might have been all write ins, but I can't swear to it. (Then again, if Mickey Mouse doesn't sing about it at this point, I have zero idea. Mom brain and all.)

Hey cuidadora,

I know for at least since we've been handling the Kerths the drop down menus have been there.

Text fields were a thing some years for nominees and final voting though. Can't recall when that changed though.
