Script: Vote Counter

Thank you, Mister (or Madam) Toastmaster, Fellow Toastmasters, and welcome Guests!
As Vote Counter, I will collect and count the ballots (hold up a ballot as an example) when the audience
votes for Best Speaker, Best Table Topics Speaker, and Best Evaluator.

*NOTE:
(and Best of the Big Three. The Big
Three are the Toastmaster, the Table Topics Master, and the General Evaluator. not in ICF)

I will record which person wins in each category.
I will not cast a ballot myself, except in the case of a tie, in which case I will cast a vote to break the tie. I
will not announce a tie vote.

Place your vote in one of these containers (show container) on each table.
*NOTE:
(In case of online ICF uses "chat box" or polling feature to collect ballots)

At the end of the meeting, I will announce and award ribbons to the winners of the votes.
*NOTE:
(In remote meeting, no ribbon is used.)

The ballots also have space to write comments to each speaker, evaluator and Table Topics participant.
Please place comments in the containers and I will deliver them to the appropriate speaker.
*NOTE:
(In remote meetings, we use "chat box" to send comments,.)
Mister (or Madam) Toastmaster
