The Soyjak.party PEOPLES CHOICE VOTY (Variant of the Year) awards 2022 is an on-going[1] strawpoll to determine Soyjak.party's Variant of the Year. Voting began on December 2nd, 2022, and will end on December 14th, 2022. The winning variant "will be immortalized as the peoples choice gem and will receive the official sharty seal."

Candidates

Electoral integrity

The stickied post announcing the election stated that it is "virtually impossible" to eliminate fraud on an anonymous internet-based vote, but added that fans will group together to increase their favourite jak's votecount, thereby counteracting the fraudulence—"the Jak with the most fans and devoted followers will win".

The site hosting the vote, strawpoll.com, only permits one vote per IP-Address; however, this can be circumnavigated with e.g. Tuxler.

Fraud Allegations

Although Cobson was originally in the lead, Nojak later took a pretty sizable lead. This very quickly lead to accusations of voter fraud. There is an alleged video of Nojaks manually changing Cobson and Feraljak votes to Nojak.[2] This was an upset as original polling decisively put Cobson in first place, with Feraljak coming in second.[3] Claims of this have been debunked by Snopes.[4]

Voting timeline

A Cobson supporter (theorised to be Kuz[5]) got the FPBP in the thread,[6] and Cobson subsequently took an early lead.[7] Feraljak cemented himself as the runner-up, with Feraljak supporters urging fans of other variants to avoid splitting the anti-Cobist vote by lending their vote to Feraljak.[8][9]

5 hours into the poll, Nojak went from third place[10] to first place[11] in the span of 20 minutes, gaining over a hundred votes. This was allegedly due to some nojak pedo getting the thai workers at his cp sweatshop to mass vote.[12] This development is widely regarded as a political upset, with most election commentators previously forecasting a campaign dominated by Cobson vs Feraljak.
