In past years, TIME has had their TIME100 list of most influential people, and had a reader poll to let voters add someone to the list who would not have been on the list.

Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan won in April 2023

Volodomyr Zelensky won in May 2022

Britney Spears won in September 2021

If there is no reader poll, this resolves to [There will be no 2024 TIME100 Reader Poll Winner].

If there is a poll, this resolves to the announced winner of the poll. Note that the poll does not appear to include people TIME was already going to put on the list, it's a contest to get onto the list. So Taylor Swift will likely not be on the poll, if they put her on the list themselves.

Submissions are open for you to add people, but I will close them if people add too many stupid options. Please be reasonable, let's say no more than 2 submissions per person.

Please do not add any Concept/Group options, these have sometimes been included before but I'm going to keep them under "other" for now. I have added an AI option for those that think they'll put it on. When the poll comes out, if there are abstract concepts I'll add them with their correct wording.

I may update these rules if someone has good suggestions within the spirit of the market.
