- The number of votes the candidate receives
- Evidence of contribution to human rights or justice
- Demonstration that the People’s Choice Award honor will strengthen and advance the nominee’s efforts and work
*Nominees will be disqualified if the selection committee believes that the nomination constitutes a conflict of interest–e.g. if the nominee is a Global Exchange staff or board member.
