The fan vote in progress (194 of you so far) will be the sole factor in determining the nominee lists.
A second fan vote will be held to determine the winners, and again it will be the sole deciding factor.

Very true I'd say. Awards committees favour candidates who are well known and are reluctant to reward a relative newcomer.
The nominations are coming in more slowly now, but with both races being close contests each one could make a difference.
The total number of voters is now 204. The man who made the landmark 200th submission was bluemoon99.
Just a reminder that the votes for both awards close at the end of May, which is now less than 4 days away.
The bank holiday gave us a bit of a bounce in the voting and we now have a total of 230 voters. Thank you to all the bank holiday voters and a special well done to cdill and The Special Juans who sent us the full set of 20 names.
After our bank holiday bounce voting has been quieter today, but all submissions are truly appreciated. The tally is now 237 voters.
Just a reminder that voting closes at the end of May, which is now less than 2 days away.
As we are now close to knowing your nominated candidates, we have provisionally placed the two babe channel awards on the UKAP Awards home page.
The current voter tally is 249 and we have 29 hours left for voting.
Thanks to awhite01 for being our landmark 250th voter.
The number of voters has now reached 253 and there are 22 hours remaining.
Thank you Davesmithy for your vote this morning.
It's the only vote we've had in the last 10 hours though, so I thought I'd better remind people that this is the last day of voting.
12 hours to go!
