How to vote for the British Soap Awards 2023
Fans can vote for their favourite nominee in four categories: Villain of the Year, Best Young Performer, Best Leading Performer, and Best British Soap. Fans must cast their vote on the official British Soap Awards website.
There will be two rounds of public voting for each of these categories, the first of which is now open and will close at 5pm on April 25. A vote must be cast in every category for votes to be valid and a vote can only be cast for one nominee in each category.
The second round of voting opens at 10am on May 2 and will close at 5pm on June 2. This will whittle down the Best Leading Performer category to five nominees.
The remaining categories will be decided by a panel of judges, with the nominations to be confirmed on an as yet unconfirmed date. The winners will be announced at the British Soap Awards which are to be broadcast on ITV at a time to be announced in June 2023.
