Looks like Fran Jones and Alice Gillan and Ella McDonald are all in finals this morning and, as far as I can tell, the action will end with them.

So nominations will close as mentioned at 7 pm today and the vote will be posted later this evening; it will be one single vote and will close Tuesday evening after the usual 48 hours.
