1986 Worldcon Site Selection

Site selection for the 1986 Worldcon was conducted by LACon II, the 1984 Worldcon. There was a DC in '86 bid which did not file and hence did not appear on the ballot. Bidders were Atlanta in '86, New York in '86 and Philadelphia in '86. (See Atlanta in '86 for a discussion of the two Atlanta bids which existed for a time.)

The results were:

Bidder	Mail	At-con	Total
Atlanta in '86	298	491	789
Philadelphia in '86	116	185	301
New York in '86	96	146	242
No Preference	9	20	29
None of the Above	1	6	7
Valid ballots	520	848	1368
Invalid ballots	14	12	26

Atlanta in '86 received an absolute majority of the vote and was the winner, going on to run ConFederation.

The printed report does not list write-ins, which may have been treated as invalid ballots.
