Based on the outcomes of the initial Nomination ballot, the final ballot is then posted on Survey Monkey for one week. At the end of that week, ballot outcomes are determined. The final ballot outcomes will establish the individuals to be awarded.
-
After final ballots are determined, the winner’s envelopes are sealed with a non-intrusive stamp. Only the voting committee has knowledge of the results prior to the envelopes being opened onstage during a formal ceremony - the January UC Star Awards.
