How does voting for the Ballon d'Or Feminin actually work?

For the 2023/24 season, the Ballon d'Or Feminin was awarded by an international jury of specialist journalists with a representative from each of the top 50 countries in the FIFA rankings.

Each member of the jury placed ten players in descending order based on merit with each then awarded either 15, 12, 10, 8, 7, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 points.

Jurors made their decision based on the following criteria: Individual performances, decisive and impressive character, collective performances and track record, as well as class and fair play. The Ballon d'Or was then awarded to the player with the highest number of points.
