Several changes were implemented for the voting process for the 2023 season, including the introduction of a second independent judge, raising the maximum votes a player can receive per match from three to six. The point deduction for a one-game suspension was also raised from three to six, while players suspended for two or more games remain ineligible to receive any awards.
