Modi is on the top of the poll..Have you voted..Today is the last day for the Poll!
Modi Likely to Win 'Time Person of the Year' Poll
Prime Minister Narendra Modi appears favourite to win the 'Time Person of the Year' poll, leading the online voting with a comfortable margin ahead of Ferguson protesters as voting closed for the annual honour.
Modi was the front runner with 16.2 per cent votes, followed by Ferguson protesters who got 9.2 per cent votes at the time the polls closed midnight last night.
While Time magazine's editors will choose the 'Person of the Year', the winner of the readers' poll will be announced on December 8.
The annual honour, bestowed by the magazine since 1927, goes to the person who "most influenced the news" during the year "for better or worse."
In a separate "Face-off" poll, Modi has been pitted against Indonesia's new president Joko Widodo.
In this poll also, Modi has maintained a significant lead and garnered 69 per cent votes as against Widodo's 31 per cent.
At the third position was 18-year-old student activist Joshua Wong, who has become the face of Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests.
He had got seven per cent of the votes cast, followed by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai with 4.9 per cent votes.
US President Barack Obama could not make it to the top 10 slots and was trailing with 2.2 per cent votes at the 11th position.
The Ferguson protesters had temporarily taken the lead from Modi last week as people around the US demonstrated against a grand jury's decision not to indict white police officer Darren Wilson who shot and killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August.
But Modi, "seen by many in India and around the world as having the potential to reinvigorate the country's economy," soon regained the lead in the online poll.
Modi is among 50 global leaders, business chiefs and pop icons named as contenders for the honour.
The other candidates in the fray for the title are Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Chinese President Xi Jinping, US Secretary of State John Kerry and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Among the business chiefs and artists in the fray are Amazaon CEO Jeff Bezos, Chinese e-commerce site Alibaba founder Jack Ma, GM's first female CEO Mary Barra, Apple CEO Tim Cook and singers Beyonce, Taylor Swift, reality star Kim Kardashian and actress Jennifer Lawrence.

Congrats NaMo for winning the Readers Poll!
[h=2]Narendra Modi Wins Reader Poll for TIME Person of the Year[/h]
Dec. 8, 2014
[h=2]The Indian leader received more than 16% of almost five million votes cast[/h] Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who entered office this year on the promise of reviving the country’s economy, is the winner of this year’s reader poll for TIME Person of the Year.
In the final tally, Modi received more than 16% of the almost 5 million votes cast. Protesters who took to the streets in Ferguson, Mo., after the police shooting of an unarmed black teenager finished second with 9%. Hong Kong protest leader Joshua Wong, Nobel Peace Prize-winner Malala Yousafzai and the doctors and nurses treating Ebola rounded out the top five.
A majority of votes, 60%, came from desktop computers. Just over 35% came from mobile devices, and 4.5% of readers voted on tablets.
The choice of the TIME Person of the Year is made by TIME editors and will be announced Wednesday.
A strong showing of readers from India helped drive Modi’s first-place finish. More people from the country voted than from any other country, with the exception of the United States. Readers from more than 225 countries in total participated, with U.S. votes leading the pack at 37%, followed by India at 17% and Russia at 12%. Last year, readers from Egypt helped lift General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi in the poll.
Modi, who leads the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, became Prime Minister in May after securing a landslide victory on a platform of rebooting India’s stalling economy. But his detractors have questioned his past record, citing the bloody sectarian rioting that took place in the western Indian state of Gujarat in 2002, when Modi was chief minister. More than 1,000 people died in the violence, most of whom were Muslim.
TIME managing editor Nancy Gibbs will announce the Person of the Year on NBC’s Today show on Wednesday morning, when it will also be shared on Twitter and Facebook.
