Shouldn't 'Maybe The Horse Will Learn To Sing' be on this ballot, it was posted in January 2013?

My apologies. This totally slipped my mind until now AND I've been having LOTS of computer issues. Hopefully Glen can help fix things, though. :(

Also, "I am a Legend" by Meadow and "Be Careful What You Wish For" by Thande were nominated on January 3rd and January 19th - shouldn't they be added?

Oh yeah! I'd forgotten about that - and I actually nominated Thande's one. It'd be good to get them in there ASAP, as many will vote and not return to this thread.

I'd also want to vote for both of them, but I've already cast my vote for Andy's excellent Maybe The Horse, so I'd have to request a mod add my votes. Bother!

At the risk of sounding unpopular - perhaps it would probably be best to just start the polling over again and having a public notification? I realise that I don't have a vested interest here, but given that it has been open for the best part of eight hours now, I get the feeling that most people are going to be confused as to what is going on.

I obviously do have a vested interest here, but as Glen is now likely asleep, it may be many hours until the poll is able to be edited again. I think restarting it would be appropriate, as missing out on most of the first day of voting is a large disadvantage.

Not to sound ungrateful, of course - this is a mammoth undertaking and mistakes occur. Kudos to Glen and the team for a mostly flawless launch.

That would probably be for the best.

I don't know whether I am excited or nervous.

Aha, I see Glen's plan now. There's a separate poll for the two originally excluded TLs. It can be found here. If you've already voted in this category, head over to the other poll and see if the two TLs there would get your vote.

ANNOUNCEMENT - THERE ARE NOW TWO NEW MODERN POLLS

Two nominees were left off the ballot for New Modern. Since we are using Approval Voting, it is very simple to make a new poll and aggregate results later. I Am A Legend by Meadow and Be Careful What You Wish For by Thande are the new entries. Even if you voted for one or more of the previous entries, you may still cast a vote for one or more of these if you would like to see them win as much or more as the others.
