2000 Hugo and John W. Campbell Awards Numerical Vote Tally
Best Novel --- 929 ballots counted
first place: Round: 1 2 3 4 5
A Deepness in the Sky 246 246 279 312 433
A Civil Campaign 237 237 257 308 356

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 151 151 170
Darwin's Radio 114 114
NO AWARD 10
Comments: The Hugo and John W. Campbell Awards are determined by
an optional preferential voting method. Voters may rank their choices
for first place, second place, and so on.
In the first round, A Deepness in the Sky received the most first
place votes. Since "No Award" got the least number of first place
votes, it was eliminated and the ten ballots with "No Award" as the
first choice were checked to see if there were any second place votes.
There were no second place votes and Darwin's Radio was eliminated
in the second round.
The elimination process continues until one of the candidates receives
more than half the first place votes (in this case, 465 votes) or until
just two candidates are left.
In the third round, some of the 114 ballots with Darwin's Radio as first
choice did have second place votes. A Deepness in the Sky picked up 33
votes, A Civil Campaign picked up 20 votes, Cryptonomicon got 28
votes, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban got 19 votes. The
elimination rounds continued until just two canidates were left with A
Deepness in the Sky holding its lead through all five rounds.
Apply the No Award test:
609 ballots rank A Deepness in the Sky higher than No Award
40 ballots rank No Award higher than A Deepness in the Sky
A Deepness in the Sky is confirmed as winner...
The No Award test is from Section 3.11.3 of the World Science Fiction
Society Constitution: "After a tentative winner is determined, then
unless "No Award" shall be the winner, the following additional test
shall be made. If the number of ballots preferring "No Award" to the
tentative winner is greater than the number of ballots preferring the
tentative winner to "No Award", then "No Award" shall be declared the
winner of the election."
second place:
A Civil Campaign 288 289 347 417
Darwin's Radio 198 198 248 362
Cryptonomicon 218 218 237
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 181 181
NO AWARD 14
Comments: Second through last place are determined by eliminating
the candidate with most first place votes. In this case, A Deepness
in the Sky was eliminated for the second place runoff determination and
any second place votes from the 246 ballots listing A Deepness in the Sky
as first choice were moved to the remaining ballots as first place votes.
A Civil Campaign remained in second place with the additional 51 first
place votes it received. Darwin's Radio got 84 more first place votes,
which brought it up to the second place rank in this runoff.
third place:
Cryptonomicon 279 279 394
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 276 277 358
Darwin's Radio 270 270

NO AWARD 28
Comments: Here you see the major difference between the preferential
and plurality voting methods. "Stellar Harvest" started out with the
most first place votes and would have won if the Hugo voting system
just awarded the candidate with the most votes.
The preferential voting method is able to determine which candidate was
preferred by a majority of the voters. In this case, "1016 to 1" and
"Border Guards" both turned out to have more first and second place votes
than "Stellar Harvest" when the other nominees were eliminated.
If a simple plurality voting method was used, a candidate could win
with only about one-sixth the total number of votes (five nominees
and No Award). If there was a requirement stating that the winner
must have some percentage of the total number of votes, some sort
of runoff vote would be needed in the common case where no nominee
received the minimum number of votes required to win.
Apply the No Award test:
385 ballots rank "1016 to 1" higher than No Award
50 ballots rank No Award higher than "1016 to 1"
"1016 to 1" is confirmed as winner...
