Authors Show: Public voting has changed and will end on Oct 10 at midnight

Dear All,

This morning I got a message from Executive Producer of The Authors Show, Danielle Hampson, mentioning that public voting has changed and will end on Oct 10 at midnight. In Indonesia it will be on Oct 11 at 12.00 WIB. Below, I enclose her two answers regarding many questions she got via emails:

1. You may vote once only. The system has been programmed to prevent multiple votes coming from the same computer, so if you receive a message to that effect, it simply shows the system is working the way it should.

2. Some have reported not being able to vote. This is happening ONLY when voters do not scroll down the page to the CONTINUE button. In order to cast a vote, voters must click that button.

We do not wish any of the finalists to be artificially penalized because some of the voters did not scroll down the page to click on the CONTINUE button. Therefore, we will give them another chance to do so by keeping the voting open through Monday October 10 at midnight.

The names of the 50 winners will be posted on our contest page on October 20, and the top winner will be announced October 25th. ***
