BNK48 Senbatsu Election

The BNK48 Senbatsu Election (BNK48選抜総選挙) (also known as BNK48 Senbatsu Sousenkyo) is an annual event where fans can vote for their favorite BNK48 and CGM48 member, analogous to a popularity contest. The members who receive the most votes are announced on the day of the election, but votes are submitted beforehand. Currently, the members who have the most votes are then grouped into: Senbatsu (#1~#16), Undergirls (#17~#32), and Next Girls (#33~#48). Each of these three groups releases their own song and music video for the following single.
