People's Choice Awards: How to vote
for nominees on Twitter
Posted by Nuzhat Naoreen
It's been less than a week since the
finalists for The People's Choice
Awards were announced, and already
the votes are pouring in.
Some fans have cast their vote on
our site , others through Facebook ,
and still others on Twitter ... well, at
least they've tried to vote on Twitter.
We've gotten a lot of questions about
how to make your Twitter votes
count. Here are some answers that
we hope will help:
Q1: How do I vote on Twitter?
PCA: In order to make your tweet
count as a vote, you have to include
the name of the nominee you're
voting for, the hashtag for the
category they're competing in (so, for
example, #cabletvcomedy, or #
tvbromance), and the hashtag #
peopleschoice. To make things
easier, we've even compiled a list of
the words and hashtags you need to
include for each nominee here . Go
ahead and copy/paste, you know you
want to.

Q2: I just voted on Twitter but I
forgot to include the category
hashtag. Does my vote still count?
PCA: No. You have to include all
three items mentioned in Q1 " the
nominee, the category hashtag, and
the #peopleschoice hashtag " for
your vote to count.
Q3: Are there any other ways to vote
on Twitter?
PCA: Yes! When you vote on
PeoplesChoice.com you'll see an
option to "Tweet Your Vote." Click
that and your vote will automatically
be dispersed into the Twitter-sphere.
You can also tweet your vote directly
from our Facebook voting app.
Q4: If I retweet someone who voted
on Twitter, does that count as
another vote?
PCA: Yes! But make sure whoever
you're retweeting included all the
appropriate tags (see Q1 & Q2).
Q5: I voted via Twitter but I
accidentally misspelled my favorite
actor's name " will the vote still
count?
PCA: The vote will still count, just
make sure to include all the
appropriate tags (see Q1 for a
refresher).
Q6: If I live outside of the United
States, does my Twitter vote still
count?
PCA: Yep! We don't have borders on
voting. If you live outside of the
United States, your votes " whether
you choose to cast them on our site,
via Facebook or Twitter " will all
count.
