With just over two days of voting remaining, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi maintains his lead in TIME’s Person of the Year Reader’s Poll, earning 18% of all “yes” votes as of Friday. Those who come closest to Modi’s lead are U.S. President Barack Obama, President-elect Donald Trump and Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange—each of whom have earned 7% of all “yes” votes. Since 1927, TIME has selected the most influential person of the year, identifying the person or group of people who have had the largest impact—positive or negative—on the world during that year.
