We&#8217;re using a slightly different voting format this year, and we realise that means you can&#8217;t see who&#8217;s winning the various polls as they unfold; so here&#8217;s some insight into Round 1 thus far&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The biggest leaders at the moment are Minas Tirith, beating Shelob&#8217;s Lair 92% to 8%; Valinor beating Falas by the same margin; and strongest of all, Gondolin is thrashing Hithlum, so far having 94% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>Readers may be surprised to know that the Brandywine Bridge is currently beating Bagshot Row, though there&#8217;s only 14% in it. Helm&#8217;s Deep is 12% ahead of Edoras, so get over there and vote if you don&#8217;t want the Golden Hall to go out in Round 1!<\/p>\n<p>The closest fought battle right now is between Smaug&#8217;s Lair and the Elvenking&#8217;s Halls, with the fiery fellow currently beating Thranduil&#8217;s home by just 8%. Your vote could be the one which tips the balance!<\/p>\n<p>Voting in Round 1 will close later today, so don&#8217;t delay!\u00a0VOTE NOW!
