2017 FT Awards voting issues
At the top of this post, I'm still seeing the banner as follows:
2017
Flyer talk
AWARDS
FLY
STAY
DRIVE
VOTING ENDS TOMORROW!
Cast your vote today
However, when I click on "Cast your vote today" I get a message saying that voting has closed, and it's not even the end of the business day in California, assuming that voting was meant to end today and not yesterday or tomorrow.
I wasn't sure where to post this as it's not a technical issue.

Since the awards are under the purview of Internet Brands, I will send this to their forum so they are aware.

OK, just now when I looked, the announcement about voting (in addition to the banner I quoted above which is labeled under "Notices") appeared. This announcement is scheduled to be posted through February 8th, which is tomorrow (Wednesday).
Trying to click through from the link on the notice still goes to a page saying that voting has closed.

But shouldn't the information posted about when voting would end be correct? Until at least about 3:30 pm today California time, FT said that voting would end "tomorrow." To me, that says that I should at least be able to vote anytime today.

All the other announcements had a day or date, Tuesday the 7th. We always close voting at noon on a Tuesday.
