* About Online Voting

Ideascale, an online voting tool, was used for the online homepage redesign voting. This tool allows logged-in voters to vote for or against a design and to vote for or against homepage features. Features votes are distinct from the design votes – features votes are about what to include on the homepage (News / Slideshow / Document of the Day etc.).

• There were a total of 1,388 online votes. Of these, 1,254 were for homepage designs and 134 were for features.
