No more paper envelopes, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences chairman-CEO Bruce Rosenblum has introduced their plans to transition to an online voting system.
According to Variety, the two-year, two-step switchover will first cover the initial round of Emmy voting that determines the nominees across all categories. But in 2015, online voting will be extended to all rounds of Television Academy’s Emmy voting process, determining nominees and winners in all categories. A paper ballot will also be distributed to ATAS’ 16,300 voting members during the two-year transition phase.
