Voting: Supervillain of 2011

Over the past two weeks we’ve heaped scorn on our Villains. Now it’s up to you to pick Torontoist’s Supervillain of 2011.

DEADLINE: Votes will be accepted until midnight on Friday December 30, 2011.

TO VOTE: This is a ranked ballot, so you don’t just get to pick one hero out of all the nominees but instead place all of them in order of villainy, from your most-hated to your least-hated candidate. Just grab any nominee and move them up to down to change the order on your ballot.

DETERMINING THE WINNER: Once voting has closed, we’ll tally all the first-placed votes. The nominee with the fewest votes for Supervillain (i.e. with the fewest rankings of #1) will get dropped off the list—but those votes still count. We will then move on and look at the second-placed votes on the ballots for the dropped candidate, and redo our tally. The process repeats until one candidate is left standing: Supervillain of the Year.
