Worldcon Site Selection -- Unofficial Results

[kevin_standlee]

When you watch a horse race, you may see the horse named "Montreal" cross the finish line first, but you're not allowed to cash your ticket until the OFFICIAL sign lights up. With Worldcons, the OFFICIAL sign is when the WSFS Site Selection Business Meeting formally receives the results, and that will be shortly after 1000 local time in Yokohama today, Sunday, September 2.

However, I understand that Montreal did win, by around 100 votes. I'll post the detailed results when I get a chance.

I think the large No Preference vote may have actually been Other; with STV (the way votes are counted), there's no harm in putting your joke first followed by your preference among the real bids. (There could be if so many people did that that a real bid was eliminated, but that's unlikely and has never come close to happening in Site Selection.)

How many of the 53 had Montreal or KC listed, just not first? Those aren't No Preference.
