I assume that (A) should read " has been voted"? 1) (F) is not impossible, but with "this year" you would mostly use (A). 2) Grammatically, "will be voted" and "will have been voted" are possible.

Thank you for that. Yes you're right... (A) is has been voted.
What about "had been voted" and "was voted" as other options?

moon7296What about "had been voted" and "was voted" as other options?"had been voted" seems unlikely with "this year". I suppose it is not totally impossible.
"was voted" is option (F), which I already commented on.

GPY"had been voted" seems unlikely with "this year". I suppose it is not totally impossible.I should have said it may not be totally impossible in a specially contrived context that calls for the past perfect as well as "this year". It is not possible as an isolated sentence with no context.

Effectorin A-F, F is the ONLY answerYou are correct, but (A) was mistyped and should read "has been voted", per Moon's follow-up post.
