Three Pals, three characters, one submission
You get three votes on the Pal ballot and three on the human character ballot, and you submit the whole thing once. There is no revising it afterwards, and stacking three votes on a single Pal is not an option — they are three distinct picks.
So spend a minute on it before you open the page. The ballot runs to over 280 Pals, and scrolling that list cold while trying to decide is how people end up voting for whoever they saw first.
Why this one is harder to call than the last
Palworld 1.0 added 72 Pals in July. Eight weeks later, all of them are on the same ballot as the roster people have been playing with since early access.
That makes the outcome genuinely uncertain in a way a 2024 poll would not have been. The new arrivals carry novelty and recency; the originals carry hundreds of hours of attachment. Whichever way it breaks, the result is a reasonable read on how well the 1.0 additions actually landed with players rather than with reviewers.
What the results are for
Pocketpair has not said. The studio ran an earlier Global Popularity Poll and published a results post for it, so a results announcement is the safe expectation.
Everything past that is speculation. Merchandise lines, card game inclusion and in-game nods have all been suggested by players, and none of them have been stated by Pocketpair. Worth voting on its own terms rather than as a bet on a reward.
