Since we expect the voters to have been active Smogon users during 2023 there is a minimum expected account age and post count in order to cast votes. If you never post or made your account very recently you wouldn't meet those.

Would it be possible for you (or someone else) to post the choices people are voting between?

As a resident lurker I don't care about not being able to vote, but I would at least like to see what the nominees are for each category.

Only fair to note that I had big Kolohe art inspiration early this year and last year, so you could argue that it's a Kolohe product
