Anyone who was a member of Renvovation (2011 Worldcon), Chicon 7 (2012 Worldcon), or LoneStarCon 3 (2013 Worldcon) as of January 31, 2012 is eligible to make up to five nominations in each category for the Hugo Awards and John W.

The 2012 Hugo Awards are being administered by the 2012 Worldcon, Chicon 7. See the Chicon 7 Hugo Awards web site for additional details. Contact Chicon 7 with any questions about the administration of the 2012 Hugo Awards, particularly questions requiring urgent replies and voter-eligibility inquiries. Questions directed to TheHugoAwards.org may be subject to delay as we have to forward them to Chicon 7, and we cannot be responsible for such delays.

Your ballot must arrive by the deadline on March 11. Note that Daylight Savings Time takes effect in most of the United States on March 11. We recommend not waiting until the last minute to cast your ballot.
