To build the Edge we really need your support in order to win the Big Lottery Fund’s: The People’s £50 million Lottery Contest which will be decided by public vote in December 2007.
Voting Arrangements
The following arrangements for voting have been agreed by Big Lottery Fund and ITV with guidance from Electoral Reform Services.
They will allow only one vote per recognised telephone number or email address.
Internet voting will open at www.thepeoples50million.org.uk on 26 November at 9.00 am and close at 12.00 noon on Monday 10 December.
Internet voting will allow a registered user to change their vote at any point between 9.00 a.m. on 26 November 2007 and 12.00 noon on Monday 10 December. The preference at close of voting will be counted as their vote.
Telephone voting will open at 9.00 am on Friday 7 December and close at 12.00 noon on Monday 10 December.
Guidance
As voting will allow 1 vote per recognised telephone number, some phone systems using switchboards will only be able to vote once.
Systems are in place to monitor and carry out checks for voting from ‘number withheld’ phone lines.
Systems are in place to monitor and carry out checks where multiple email votes are received from a single IP address.
Voting from numbers outside the UK will not be permitted.
Electoral Reform Services will be reviewing data throughout the voting period. Their role is to provide advice and certify the final result.
