The democratic socialist came out far, far ahead of both Clinton and Trump.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders won the online reader’s poll for TIME magazine’s 2015 Person of the Year—receiving just above 10 percent of the vote when polling concluded Sunday night.

TIME editors will reveal their decision for Person of the Year during NBC’s Today Show on Wednesday morning.
