The All-Star push has begun.
Voting for the 2023 MLB All-Star Game opened on Wednesday. The starters for this year’s Midsummer Classic will be determined via a multi-phase fan vote.
So, how does the voting process work and how can fans cast their ballots for the American and National Leagues?
Here’s what to know about All-Star Game voting:
How does MLB All-Star voting work?
Phase 1 of the voting process runs through noon ET on Thursday, June 22. At the end of Phase 1, the top vote-getter from each league will be awarded a starting spot. To determine the rest of the starting lineups, the top two vote-getters at each position (and the top six outfielders) from Phase 1 will advance to Phase 2. (If an outfielder is a league’s top vote-getter, then only four outfielders will advance to Phase 2.)
Voting for Phase 2 begins on Monday, June 26 at noon ET and runs through Thursday, June 29 at noon ET, which marks the end of the fan vote. The votes from Phase 1 do not carry over to Phase 2, setting up head-to-head battles for starting spots.

Fans can cast their All-Star ballots on MLB.com and the MLB app. You are allowed to vote as many as five times in a 24-hour period during Phase 1. During Phase 2, you can only vote once every 24 hours.
