Should the vote tally be public?

Should we make the voting visible to everyone as the votes are coming in? What about the final vote count?

I am thinking that vote should be visible - commitment to transparency, etc……but on the other hand, it could really influence people if there are clear front runners?

Whaddaya think?! Let us know.

Hi Ziba, Hi everyone
I think the final scores should be released but not an on the go score. I think constant polling or scores will just distort the effects of online voting even more. hc

I totally agree with Cameron. Updates of the voting stats can lead to even greater skewing of results.

Cheers,

I also think that the voting procedure should be changed, let people vote for one entry (in this case their favorite) rather than 3 entries. but again I think the final score also should be released and the overall assessment, evaluation and critics of the finalists from the judges. What do you think guys?
