Calling Caldecott 2019 ballot #1 is open
Here is a link to the 2019 Calling Caldecott ballot.
Here is a link to the 2019 Calling Caldecott ballot. It will be open until 9 a.m. (EST) Tuesday, January 22. Sometime that afternoon, we will post the results and a link to the second ballot. [Note: because Monday is a federal holiday, we decided to let voting continue until Tuesday morning rather than Monday. We'll announce the ballot 1 results Tuesday afternoon and run the second ballot vote from Wednesday morning to Thursday morning. This year's Calling Caldecott winners will be announced by 5 p.m. Thursday.]
Go ahead and lobby for your favorites in the comments here. Or mourn for the books that didn't make it onto our ballot. Remember, this is just a MOCK vote. Even if it's missing here, your favorite book could still win big in real life on January 28.

Martha is right. There are multiple ballots where the committee is required to vote for their first, second, and third choices. Since the winner needs to have a majority of first place votes, it sometimes does come down to a final ballot with just two books -- one of the reasons there must be an odd number of people on the committee. For the Calling Caldecott mock vote, we limit it to two ballots because of time constraints.Posted : Jan 23, 2019 04:29

Yes, Susan, committee members vote exactly this way on each ballot. I suppose there are exceptions -- if it came down somehow to only two books left on the table or something like that -- but as long as there are at least three books to vote on, yes this is how it works.Posted : Jan 23, 2019 03:40

Three was hard! I should probably know this, but is that how many the committee can vote for on each ballot or does it vary?Posted : Jan 22, 2019 01:14
