I guess not many will be doing that , only that ones that have a kind of experience of the Forum and Users and whats going on will be edit there votes.
Looks like there are a few Users they just vote without knowing really the categories and what it means and possible they just copy and paste names with a little changing.
The
best way in my opinion would be to copy, and paste the blank template without actually looking at anyone else's submissions. Then, come up with your picks. That way, you aren't getting influenced by other users votes, and you're actively thinking about who should go in each category. Then, for the final review process, go over the votes of others, and see if you've simply just forgotten about someone. If you have, you can compare your vote to their vote, and do some thinking on which one is more deserving.
That's probably the best way to go about it without being influenced, and bias too much. Since, I think what a lot of users do is if they can't think of someone themselves for a certain category they'll just copy the most popular choice.
