| − | Worldcon site selection is a complex process involving a long [[Worldcon bidding process]] followed by a formal [[bid filing]] six months before the vote. Formal [[bid filing]] is required to be on the ballot, though write-ins are permitted. Some time after the close of the [[bid filing]] and before the convention, the administering [[Worldcon]] sends out a ballot and begins accepting mail ballots.

| − | At the convention itself, after a few days of feverish campaigning, [[at-con balloting]] ends and a committee comprised of representatives from all the filed bids and the [[site selection administrator]] (the manager of the whole [[site selection]] process who is appointed by the host [[Worldcon]]) goes off and counts the votes using the [[transferable preferential ballot]] method. The [[WSFS Business meeting]] the following day ratifies the result of [[site selection]] or in the event (which has never happened) that there is no winner, selects a winner.
