All votes cast for high school musicals won't count. New voting starts today and the deadline will be noon on March 4.
Last week, we tried to shine a spotlight on the hard work of high school students throughout South Jersey who take the stage -- or work behind it -- during spring musical season.
We asked our readers to vote for which high school musical they wanted us to come photograph. The public school in each county with the most votes would win. A separate poll was created for non-public schools in South Jersey.
While we're excited to see how much interest and participation the polls have sparked, we're disappointed to see that not everyone's been honest.
Numerous people have brought to our attention the possibility that a loophole in the system allowed votes to be cast too frequently.
So, we're taking it from the top. All of the votes cast since the polls went up last Thursday are being scrapped and we're starting out fresh.
This time, readers will only be permitted to vote once a day, per device. If we notice any suspicious votes, they will be discounted at our discretion.
Voting will end at noon on March 4. Break a leg, everyone!
