Beard of the Year 2020: Electoral College to meet
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers has said following the conclusion of the final vote for the Beard of the Year 2020 on Christmas Eve, the BLF Electoral College will meet on 27th December.
The final list consisted of four names after two earlier voting rounds shaved the shortlist of eight names
Michael Sheen and Peter Coles won the first vote and went forward to the final on 23/24th December. Michael Rosen and Bill Bailey won the second vote
The Electoral College will verify the 1,329 votes cast and review the record of the four finalists in terms of positive beard impact across 2020. These two elements combined will determine the outcome.
Beard of the Year will be announced on 28th December.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we made some changes to the way the Beard of the Year vote ran for 2020. We moved the vote to twitter where polls often have great engagement and instead of two polls which ran for many weeks we ran a series of shorter more focused polls. There was an excellent turn-out for the votes. All that remains now is for the Electoral College to review matters and determine the outcome.
