Detailed Nomination and Voting Statistics

How Nominations are Tallied Nominations for the Hugo Awards (and the Lodestar Award and Astounding Award) are tallied using a system known as E Pluribus Hugo (EPH). It has been in place since 2017 and is intended to reduce the impact of bloc voting in the nomination process. Under EPH, nomination votes are tallied as follows:

 First, the total number of nominations from all ballots is tallied for each nominee.  Next, a single point is assigned to each individual voter’s nomination ballot. That point is divided equally among all nominees on that ballot. (After the first round of calculation, it is divided equally between remaining nominees.)  Next, all points from all nomination ballots are totalled for each nominee in that category.  Next, the two nominees with the lowest point totals are compared. If there is a tie of more than two nominees with the lowest or second lowest point total, all of them are compared.  Whichever of the nominees being compared has the fewer or fewest number of nominations is eliminated and removed from all subsequent calculations. If two or more nominees are tied for the fewest number of nominations, the nominee with the lowest point total at that round is eliminated. If two or more nominees are tied for both fewest number of nominations and lowest point total, then all such nominees tied at that round shall be eliminated, unless that would leave fewer than six in play, in which case they all get onto the final ballot.  Back to step 1 with the remaining nominees after the elimination.

Interpreting Nomination Tables

 The column headed N lists the total number of nominations received by the nominee.  The column to the right of that has the points for each nominee, starting from the tenth last count. The two numbers in red show the points of the two nominees with the lowest point totals, which are being compared to see which one should be eliminated.  The next column shows the remaining nominees with their point totals recalculated after the elimination of the nominee in the previous round with the lowest point total, with the new pair of nominees with the lowest points totals highlighted in red. And so on.  The last column on the right is the final count, with the last eliminated nominee below the line and the remaining six above being the finalists who go on to appear on the ballot.  In cases where one or more of the top six nominees was not eligible for the category, or withdrew from consideration, they are struck through on the table and their places on the final ballot were taken by the last nominees to be eliminated, in reverse order, and the line is placed below the last nominee to reach the final ballot.  NB that the Hugo administrators do not make eligibility decisions regarding nominees unless they have enough votes to qualify for the final ballot, so it is possible that some nominees below the line would also not have been eligible.
