This is from an announcement sent to LAcon V members by Hugo Award Administrator Tammy Coxen:
Hugo Award voting is now open! Anyone who is an Attending, Online (Virtual), or World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) member of LAcon V prior to the close of voting is eligible to vote in the 2026 Hugo Awards.
Votes can be submitted through our online balloting system, NomNom, or by mailing in a printable ballot (available here). Voting will close on August 8, 2026 at noon PDT.
You can also use NomNom to download the Hugo Awards Voter Packet. We are grateful to the rights holders who generously donate works to the Packet. This resource is provided to allow Hugo Award voters to make informed decisions. Access to the Packet ends when voting closes.
In order to use NomNom you will first need to create an LAcon V virtual convention account. LAcon V members who nominated should already have an account set up. If you joined too late to nominate you will have received an email with instructions on how to set up your account.
Please note that if you made nominations using your Seattle Worldcon 2025 membership, you will not be able to use that account to vote and will need to set up and use your LAcon account instead.
If you use NomNom, you can edit your ballot as often as you like until the close of the voting period. If you have already set up your virtual convention account you can access the ballot directly by logging in to NomNom.
If you encounter any issues or have questions about the Hugo Awards, please contact hugo-help@lacon.org for assistance.
