Fans will once again vote for the Eastern and Western Conference All-Star starters in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game voting process. Fans can vote once a day via the NBA App or NBA.com.

Fans can choose five players (three frontcourt players and two backcourt players) from each conference. However, the fan vote will only contribute for 50.0% of the total, while votes from players and media members will account for 25.0% each.

While fans can vote every day for a month, athletes and media members can only submit one All-Star ballot. If there is a tie after player and media voting, the fan vote will be used to break the tie.

In addition to the regular daily vote, there will also be six days between December 20 and January 21 where single votes count as three. The first “3-for-1” voting day will take place on December 25. This will be followed by 3-for-1 voting days on January 1, 6, 13, 16 and 20.
