Check out the results for the Sanrio Character Ranking 2012!!
On September 1st, Sanrio, home of some of the cutest characters, released the results of the 27th annual Sanrio Character Ranking. The voting period ran from May 10th to August 19th, 2012. There were a grand total of 1,500,234 votes. It should be noted that this year's contest was more promoted than the previous year as far as online is concerned. I did the top 60, numbers 61 to 100 can be seen at the source.
Sanrio left this comment on the event site:
"Occurrences of mass automated voting have been detected among the votes submitted from overseas. These votes were judged to have exceeded the permissible range and were deleted.
