When the clock strikes 11:59 pm today, 15th May 2019, it will mark the end of voting for your favourite artists nominated in this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
The voting lines which were opened on Monday the 24th of March 2019, featured a new channel allowing for the public to vote online.
This new development allowed for only Vodafone customers to vote via text message as done in previous years and redirected all other voters without a Vodafone line to vote on an online portal; www.votevgma.com.
This is to further allow for a more global involvement in the voting process as other Ghanaians in the diaspora and lovers of Ghanaian music all over the world had been left out from exercising their votes all this while.
Following the unveiling of nominees for this year’s edition, organizers announced the processes involved in voting for your desired nominee across all 25 categories.
Outlined below are all the necessary information on the voting process for the highly competitive categories unveiled for the 2019 VGMA.
