Voting starts Wednesday! We will now be incorporating a ranked choice voting system to diversify voting outcomes. You will be prompted to choose a first choice, second choice, and third choice group for each division (but you don't have to use all of your votes if you don't want to). First choice receives five votes, second choice receives three votes, and third choice receives one vote. This will apply to both preliminary and final voting polls. All other rules remain the same.

---

- Preliminary voting starts the first day of week 5 (January 17th) and ends the day before FMA prelims scores are released (January 20th @ 8PM EST)

- Final voting starts immediately after the division winners are announced and ends when final scores are released (January 23rd @ 8PM EST)

The rules:
- Voting will start during Week 5
- You cannot vote for your own groups
- You may cast up to THREE votes per division
- You may choose a first choice, second choice, and third choice candidate for each division.
- First choice receives the equivalent of five votes, second choice receives three votes, and third choice receives one vote.
- Groups that are not scheduled in any competitions or are obviously fundraising or inactive have been omitted
- PM me if your group is not listed, if you want your group removed, or if there are any errors
