Nicholas Whyte and Kathryn Duval, Hugo Administrators 2017 Note: The Hugo Awards are decided by transferable vote, where each place is determined by transferring votes from the least popular candidates until one has a majority. In addition, there are two further tests for each category: the combined first preference vote for nominees other than No Award must exceed 25% of the total vote; and the winner must have more preference votes than No Award. Every category in 2017 passed both of those tests. Best Novel 2339 votes cast; 2290 for finalists other than No Award = 69.0% of 3319, 25% test is passed. 1. The Obelisk Gate, by N. K. Jemisin 2.
