They’re not going to go through all the votes and check that are they? Surely, once you’ve been able to successfully vote, the results will just be tallied up.
They have Ernst & Young auditing votes, so it might be possible

I don’t even think you need the code word… I think that’s just to enter the competition. Votes are valid without the code AFAIK.

I can confirm you don’t need a code word. I’ve voted three times already, from different IP addresses, using fake names and addresses. Proves the voting system is flawed and brings into question the integrity of the awards. #karlforgold.
Scott Cam for Gold was more concerning.

Yeah but nothing new about that. Years ago the networks were notoriously buying up many copies of TV Week and filling out the coupons so their stars would win.
Does it use the Australia Post address database so that only a valid address can be entered? (I forget what happened when I voted)
Why is Peter Helliar’s “How to Stay Married” show in the Drama category and not in the Comedy category? It was billed as a comedy in all the ads last year and on The Project. Funding is more for a drama over a comedy?
And what is everyone’s thoughts on having “specials” listed in the Entertainment Award, instead of shows that aired for longer? The Carols in the Domain, Carols by Candlelight, The Real Full Monty, 2018 Eurovision, Eurovision Australia Decides are listed. But am sure some shows missed out.

Having some Sports Programs listed alongside some Current Affairs Programs is odd too (like The Front Bar, the AFL Footy Show and Sunday night with Matty Johns) They should be in the Entertainment Program award. More serious sports shows, like Offsiders, Sports Sunday etc should be included in this “Panel/Current Affairs” Award.
For the Lifestyle award - why is the Cooks Christmas Pantry listed (for a once off episode), but not listed for The Cooks Pantry Regular Season? And imagine if Changing Rooms gets nominated, despite being axed after a few episodes. That would be funny. lol

Yes, but irrelevant for Logies, assume they can choose the category they nominate a show in.3
Annette Sharp across the facts in her column about the relevance of The Logies and the credibility of the voting process.

Lost the plot? What does beer have to do with anything?
The Logies Voting closes up in a weeks time. I have seen a few ads from Nine and Ten asking us to vote for their shows and cast. Who is airing the most ads to vote? lol. Still Nine for A Current Affair and Tracey Grimshaw? Ten with Studio Ten and Sarah Harris, or The Project ands its hosts?
They’re the 3 main ones I have seen in the first two weeks of voting (I haven’t seen much ads in the last week). Does Seven have any ads for us to vote for their shows?

Glad they’re still going around, I guess 
Seven doesn’t care much for the Logies which is ironic given all the front covers and page space TV Week dedicates to Home And Away

Which surprises me a lot of late. You’d think they want to help let Home and Away win more Logies (going by the way they treat the show on TV Week). Since Ray Meagher’s Gold Logie in 2010, they seem to have let their guard down, for some reason.
Not let their guard down. More like don’t care. They see the Logie Awards being more a Nine show, than an industry show so don’t want to help a Nine show. They probably believe there is no benefit or value to winning a logie these days.
