Voting begins December 9, 2016 (10:00p.m. ET) and continues until December 11, 2016 during the live global telecast of CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute.

READY TO VOTE? HERE’S HOW
Go to CNNHeroes.com to reach our voting page – or click here. There are four ways to vote, all through the voting page:
Email address and/or Facebook ID
Click VOTE for your selected Hero, CONFIRM VOTE (check that you’ve read and accept the Voting Disclosures), then choose either your email address or Facebook ID (you will be prompted to enter your email address or log in to Facebook if you’re not).
You may VOTE AGAIN up to 5 times a day!
To vote using both an email address and Facebook, LOG OUT (upper right), then repeat the process, using the other method. You will receive a message when you reach the maximum votes for the day.
Facebook Messenger
Click the ‘Message Us’ button.
You’ll see a carousel. Scroll to the photo of your hero. Click ‘Vote for <name>.’
You may repeat the process up to a maximum of 5 votes.
Click ‘Vote on Twitter. Enter your CNN Hero’s name, be sure the message includes the hashtag #CNNSUPERHERO, then tweet it. That’s the only way your tweet will count as a vote.
To vote again: Twitter does not permit the identical message to be tweeted more than once a day. Slightly revise your message (as simple as adding an exclamation mark) or be creative and write something new!
NOTE: You will not receive a maximum vote message after 5 tweets. Any additional tweets will not be counted that day.
AFTER YOU VOTE, DON’T FORGET TO SHARE IT!
You can share your vote on both Facebook and Twitter. Remember to include the Hero’s name, the voting page URL (CNN.com/heroesvote) and, when voting on Twitter, the hashtag #CNNSUPERHERO
Alternate ways to vote
You must go through our voting page to vote with an email address or Facebook ID. That’s not required for the other two methods.
Facebook Messenger
Visit the CNN Heroes Facebook page.
Click the ‘MESSAGE’ tab.
The first time you vote, you’ll see a Welcome Message. Click ‘Get Started.’
Type or click the word ‘VOTE.’
You will see an image of one of the five past CNN Heroes of the Year. To see all five, simply place your cursor over the image and a “right arrow” ( >) appears. Scroll through the photo carousel until you see the CNN Hero of the Year you want to support, then click to vote. (The first photo is randomly generated and will be different for other users).
Follow the instructions above, selecting your Hero, clicking Vote
As with other methods, you may vote through Messenger up to 5 times a day.
NOTE: You will only see the Welcome Screen once. When you return another day, you’ll see the previous days votes. Just keep voting!
You may vote on Messenger both through our Facebook page and our voting page. The 5x/day maximum applies, no matter which way you vote on Messenger.
You can vote anytime on Twitter, without going through our voting page. Just follow the instructions above, being sure to include your Hero’s name and the hashtag #CNNSUPERHERO
Then, be sure to watch as we reveal the 10th Anniversary CNN SuperHero, live, Sunday night, Dec. 11!
