Refer to Pre-Poll Data Collecting – Westerns Stars (or specifically this post) for background.
The preliminary threads will be open a while longer, but since it looks like things are winding down, this is a first pass at tidying things up.
Thanks to the seven voters for establishing the Eastwood-Wayne dominance of the genre.
After 17 Voters have spoken there’s little doubt who #1 and #2 will be, but the race for #3 is far from certain. Here are the groups in contention for top spots:

My very first impression on seeing the thread title and choices was for Other:
Barbara Stanwyck (1907-1990)
Richard Long (1927-1974)
Peter Breck (1929-2012)
Lee Majors (1939-)
Linda Evans (1942-)
Yeah yeah, I know, it was a TV show!

Y’all are some funny folks! Poor Randy didn’t get on the list, for shame. Maybe we can be sure he’s on the “clean-up” list to see how many votes he would have gotten. In fact, we probably need to revisit the whole list now that The Duke and Clint have this one sewed up.
I’m thinking of going back to those preliminary threads and collecting people who got more than 5 votes and making that another effort at not leaving any reasonable vote-getter out of this whole affair.
Any other ideas for how to drag this out? 
No Charley Bronson?
Looking back at the four preliminary threads/polls I see that these people got at least 3 votes or at least 20% of the votes in that poll, but weren’t on this TOP 5 list:
=========================================
Gene Autry (1907–1998) 6 24.00%
Tom Mix (1880–1940) 4 16.00%
Randolph Scott (1898–1987) 4 16.00%
Chief Dan George (1899–1981) 3 12.00%
George 'Gabby' Hayes (1885–1969) 3 12.00%
William Holden (1918–1981) 3 25.00%
Alan Ladd (1913–1964) 3 25.00%
Dean Martin (1917–1995) 3 25.00%
Clayton Moore (1914–1999) 3 25.00%
Charles Bronson (1921–2003) 4 30.77%
Lee Van Cleef (1925–1989) 4 30.77%
Yul Brynner (1920–1985) 3 23.08%
Chuck Connors (1921–1992) 3 23.08%
Tommy Lee Jones (1946- ) 5 38.46%
Gene Hackman (1930- ) 4 30.77%
Sam Elliott (1944- ) 4 30.77%
Graham Greene (1952- ) 3 23.08%
Ian McShane (1942- ) 3 23.08%
Timothy Olyphant (1968- ) 3 23.08%
Tom Selleck (1945- ) 3 23.08%
=========================================
I’ll put up a new poll for this group where you can pick up to three and the top finishers will move on to a later poll.
As for the new names suggested, I’ll try to come up with another way to include those with the earlier names that got no votes.
Richard Boone… Paladin
The Duke
To make this count as a vote, just check John Wayne (and up to FIVE total) in the poll at the top of the page.
Thanks! 
My other: Lee Van Cleef
In an effort to address these OTHER votes/mentions I have added
All-Time Westerns Stars – Tidy-Up #1
All-Time Westerns Stars – Tidy-up #2
So please go there if you want your vote(s) counted toward some ultimate Final Poll somewhere down the line.
Thanks!
