2021 VOTING for QUARTERLY TOPICS

The polls are now closed

Results as of Monday 14 December 1200 GMT:



----
After a lively discussion in the planning thread, we've ended up with quite a list of possible topics (https://www.librarything.com/topic/326147). That means it is time to vote. Thanks to all who made suggestions!

Let's see where voting takes us...

There are 15 proposed topics below. The theme titles are indicative: the people who moderate the themes will decide how it makes sense to interpret them, but the Reading Globally tradition is not to stick to a narrow interpretation of any topic.

You can vote "yes" or "no" or "undecided". If you change your mind, you can change your vote.

You do not need to vote on all topics, but doing so certainly helps make the decision more of a group choice.

In principle, we will choose the four topics that get the most votes to be quarterly themes.

This isn't a presidential election, no lives depend on it: if the vote gives an unclear situation, e.g. a near-tie or topics that have substantial overlap, we can discuss further or even have a second round, so please vote honestly, not tactically!

Voting will be open for a week, i.e. until the morning of Monday, 14 December (GMT). There will be a message on the Reading Globally Message Board before it closes.

If you have comments, please post them on the planning thread, not here, but feel free to post here to say "I've voted" to keep the thread high up in the list for the next week.
