When does voting begin and end?
Voting will commence on Wednesday, June 7 at 2 p.m. ET and conclude on Wednesday, June 24 at 11:59 ET.
Where can fans vote?
Fans can vote for All-Star candidates via WNBA.com, the WNBA App, and Instagram.
What are the voting percentages?
WNBA fans will account for 50% of the vote, while all current players and a media panel will account for 25% respectively. Players and media panelists are able to complete one ballot, featuring four backcourt and six frontcourt players.
The four backcourt and six frontcourt players with the best scores will be named as starters for the WNBA All-Star 2023. Fan voting will serve as the tiebreaker for players in a position group with the same score.

Fans are allowed to cast one full ballot each day via the WNBA.com website and the WNBA App on your phone. Fans can also vote for up to 10 players of their choosing on Instagram.
There will be three “2-for-1 Days” which will allow fans to have their votes count for twice the amount on June 11, June 16 and June 21 through all voting platforms. Every “2-for-1 Day” will be designated from midnight ET – 11:59 p.m. ET.
Captain selections:
The two All-Star starters who receive the most fan votes will draft their respective rosters by selecting from the remaining eight players in the pool of starters and then from the pool of 12 reserves.
