Each nominee receives a unique official voting code. Revenue generated through that code will be attributed to the nominee for purposes of this Policy.

Only valid and verified votes count toward the 1,000-vote threshold and revenue calculation.

Taji Awards Africa may review transaction records, voting records, system logs and other relevant information before confirming final figures.

9. Calculation and Payment

Revenue shares will not be calculated from live or preliminary voting figures.

After the 60-day voting period, Taji Awards Africa will complete voting and payment reconciliation.

Eligible payments will be processed after final verification and reconciliation.

Applicable taxes, statutory deductions or other legally required deductions may apply.

10. Nominee Mobilization Responsibilities

Nominees may promote their Taji Awards nomination, official voting code and voting link through legitimate channels, including social media, WhatsApp, community networks and personal contacts.

Nominees must not:

• Use fraudulent voting methods
• Manipulate the voting platform
• Mislead voters
• Use unauthorized payment channels
• Impersonate Taji Awards officials
• Coerce voters
• Encourage fraudulent activity

11. Relationship to Award Results

Unless otherwise stated for a specific category, winners are determined according to the applicable Taji Awards voting and judging rules.

The 50% winner share is only applicable after the winner has been officially determined and has satisfied all eligibility requirements under this Policy.

Taji Awards Africa will communicate clearly to eligible nominees:

• The applicable revenue-share percentage
• The 1,000 valid-vote threshold

• Misrepresentation
• Violation of the Official Voting Terms & Conditions
• Violation of this Policy
• Conduct intended to unfairly influence voting results

Reaching 1,000 valid votes establishes eligibility but does not guarantee a specific payment.

The amount payable depends on the verified Net Eligible Voting Revenue generated through the nominee's official voting code.
