Voting Rules and Procedures are subject to change at any time and may include additional voting
opportunities throughout the period.

top candidates for the Semi Finals and advance to the Finals. The Administrators reserve the right, in
their sole discretion, to reject votes cast by any individual who tampers with the voting process or acts
in a disruptive or unsportsmanlike manner.
General Conditions:
In the event the Administrators believe that the operation, security, or administration of the Global Vote
voting process is impaired in any way, the Administrators may, in their sole discretion, either: (a)
suspend the Global Vote voting process to address the impairment and then resume the Global Vote
voting process; (b) advance the contestant who received the highest score of valid votes at the time of
the impairment; (c) utilize solely the judges’ scores to select the contestant to advance; or (d) employ
any other fair and equitable resolution determined by the Administrators, in their sole discretion. In the
event the contestant with the highest number of votes is unable to move on for any reason, the
Administrators may, in their sole discretion, either: (a) advance the contestant who received the second
highest number of valid votes; (b) utilize solely the judges’ scores to select the contestants to advance;
or (c) employ any other fair and equitable resolution determined by the Administrators. The
