There are six screens (2 awards/3 regions) that need to be submitted separately in order to vote for all categories.

Method 1
I previously tried to vote for the "Best Rewards Program" separately from the "Outstanding Benefit Voting", however both gave the same error message, i.e.
"Currently Voting for: Best Rewards Program"
I then selected "Europe/Africa".
I then went to "Airline -> Your #1 Choice" and made a selection.
I then pressed "SUBMIT my final vote for this region."
I got the same error message.
I then went to
"Switch to Outstanding Benefit Voting"
I then selected "Europe/Africa".
I then went to "Airline -> Your #1 Choice" and made a selection.
I then pressed "SUBMIT my final vote for this region."
I got the same error message.
Method 2
I just tried this other way instead:
"Currently Voting for: Best Rewards Program"
I then selected "Europe/Africa".
I then went to "Airline -> Your #1 Choice" and made a selection.
I then went to
"Switch to Outstanding Benefit Voting"
I then selected "Europe/Africa".

I then pressed "SUBMIT my final vote for this region."
I got the same error message.

If you don't mind - what is the browser you are using? Are you voting from a mobile device or similar?

YOU MAY ONLY VOTE FOR A GIVEN PROGRAM ONCE PER REGION; your #1 choice cannot be the same as your #2 choice, etc. – when you submit your vote, the electronic ballot will return an error until each program you select in a region is unique.
I was able to vote twice for a programm (vote #1 and vote #3) using FF 9.0.1 with XP
And I had to select something in a categorie, I got an error message, if it e.g. do not enter anything in a group (e.g. rental cars in Asia pp)

I'm also getting the 'You didn't select any option as votes. Please try again' - trying to submit only my top two choices in the Europe region for airlines and hotels only, for both Best Rewards and Outstanding Benefit.
I'm using IE8 on a Windows XP desktop (yeah, I know but it's a company PC )
