Voting for the 2016 NBA All-Star Game this year has been made easier, as it is now digital and all fans have to do is to click and search.

According to The Washington Post report, the league is teaming up with the multinational technology company Google to let fans vote directly through Google searches on their desktop, tablet and mobile devices. This is the first such arrangement Google has struck with a major sports league.

The procedure to vote is easy and simple. Searching a phrase like "NBA all-star voting" or "NBA all-star Golden States Warriors", will bring up cards for each NBA team and the roster of its players. Fans can select the said cards to cast their votes (one per player per day up to a maximum of 10 total votes per day).

According to The Verge, this added functionality is joining a wide range of existing voting options, many of which involve the biggest social networks around the world. Fans can cast their votes on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter using the hashtag #NBAVote alongside a player's first and last names, and Chinese fans can do the same using Sina Weibo and Tencent.

NBA fans can also cast in their vote through the NBA's official website, via NBA App or by using SMS.

The 65^th NBA All-Star game will be held outside the United States for the first time, and the City of Toronto will be the busy host for the upcoming basketball event, happening on February 14 next year.

Voting period for this season's All-Star will last until January 18^th of year 2016. The reigning Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry of the Golden States Warriors led last year's totals with more than 1.5 million votes.

The results of the voting will be announced by the leagues officials live on TNT on January 21^st.
