Hugo voting deadline change
Jul. 2nd, 2020 12:45 pmAn extra week has fallen out of the sky! Their tweet:
"Hugo voting extension: We are sorry for the delay in opening online Hugo Voting. It should be open no later than Wednesday 8 July. Therefore, we are extending the voting deadline to Wednesday, 22 July 2020 at 23:59 PDT (UTC-7)/Thursday, 23 July 2020 at 18:59 NZST (UTC+12)."
It's not really clear to me *why* they're having these delays - does every Worldcon have to completely recode the voting software? Can't they just get it from the previous Worldcon? But I certainly don't object to that extra week to read!
