Who runs the ballot?
Each Worldcon is responsible for administering and counting votes for the year in which it takes place. Noreascon 4 has appointed Rick Katze as Hugo Administrator. He, together with Mark Olson, and Deb Geisler have been designated as the Hugo Award Subcommittee, with final and complete authority over this year’s Hugos. It is their job to see that the process takes place efficiently and fairly, and they are therefore ineligible for any Hugo or Retrospective Hugo that will be awarded in 2004. If you have any questions about the Hugos, the first thing to do is to ask the Hugo Administrator.
