Fans can fill out up to five All-Star ballots per every 24-hour period between now and 2 p.m. ET on June 30, when Phase 1 of voting concludes.
The top-two vote-getters at each position and top six outfielders in each league will be revealed at 5 p.m. ET on June 30. The top overall vote-getter in each league earns a spot in their league’s starting lineup.
The other players will move onto Phase 2, which runs from 12 p.m. ET on July 5 through 2 p.m. ET on July 8. Votes from Phase 1 do not carry over and fans can only vote once during this period. The starting position players in each league will be revealed later on July 8.
As for pitchers and reserves, those 23 players in each league will be determined by “Player Ballots” and the Commissioner's Office. The full rosters will be announced in a selection show on July 10.
