1993 Worldcon Site Selection

For the 1993 site selection run at ConFiction in 1990, the bidders were San Francisco in '93, Hawaii in '93, Zagreb in 1993 and Phoenix in '93. SF won and went on to run ConFrancisco.

Roelof Goudriaan (who was site selection administrator reported the results of the site-selection voting for the 1993 Worldcon:

Total mail-in ballots: 329 Total at-con ballots: 759 Total ballots cast: 1088

San Francisco in '93 was the winner (see below for complete voting details). The committee distributed Progress Report 0, and Terry Biffel gave a brief report, listing the Guests of Honor. -- Of the losing bids: Zagreb in 1993 had no statement, Hawaii in '93 released balloons ("The bid is dead; Long live the bid!"). For Phoenix in '93, Mr. Berry stated that they would not protest the pink ballots [the ballots distributed by Hawaii in '93 with a vote for Hawaii already written in], but strongly urged the meeting to reevaluate the role of write-ins in the voting process. ("I hope you get what you voted for.")
