Per the comments under the news post:

I pressed the vote button and it automatically chose sugar rush for me? What the heckle man

Riot Bananabandit:

Update 3: The cutoff for resetting votes has passed. The names I've commented on below should be able to revote tomorrow night. Thanks again for voting y'all -- can't wait to see what you choose!

-- Update 2: We can reset individual votes! But there's no good way for us to track who actually wanted to vote for Sugar Rush and who got bamboozled. So here's the deal:

If you were one of the people who unintentionally voted for Sugar Rush and you want to to recast your vote, please let me know in this thread by saying "rito reset my vote." If you already commented, please edit your comment to include "rito reset my vote." (I don't want to just reset everyone, cause there's a chance someone never checks back and has no idea they can vote again -- and then they don't get the vote they want or the icon.)

I'll collect the list of names tonight, then by Friday night, you should be able to vote again.

... and I'll forgive you for not choosing sugar rush ;)

-- Update 1: The issue with voting on your phone should be fixed now -- the vote should only go through if you actually click the "vote now" button. We'll have an answer on individual revotes shortly!

-- Dang, this feels bad :( We're making some changes now so that this shouldn't happen anymore, but I know that doesn't fix things for y'all.

I'm talking with the tech people to see if there's a way to retract individual votes behind the scenes, but idk if that's actually possible - I'll update here once I have more info.

So basically Sugar Rush has extra votes due to a bug, we don't know how many or from who, and Riot only gave a small window that is now over to notice and fix your vote with very little visibility of the bug.

Proof bugs can be good.

I swear my vote had better have gone where I sent it (Demon Tristana), lest Riot wishes to incur my wrath.

Sometimes democracy isn't the best option. Sometimes the Sugar Rush Autocracy rigs the election.... and it's all the better for it

There were also voting shenanigans during last years vs event. Folks were able to vote a second time for Darius after they saw Garen losing the fight.
