Whatever categories apply, and whatever cap governs a single supporter's votes, wait on the live ballot to settle each cycle.

The site asks residents to recognize the local businesses, people and services they value most, with nominations open from July 19 to November 8.

• CommunityVotes Rochester

  CommunityVotes Rochester's annual Minnesota readers-choice ballot at rochestermn.communityvotes.com, where the 2026 cycle confirms four active categories, General Contractors, Thrift Stores, Museums, and Flea Market, a narrower published list than most CommunityVotes sister cities in the state disclose this early in a cycle.

It's hosted at saginaw.communityvotes.com for the Saginaw County seat. The 2026 nomination window runs May 16 through September 13.

  Unlike Best of Portland or Best of Eugene, each run by its own separate publisher, CommunityVotes Salem runs through the national CommunityVotes network at salemor.communityvotes.com for Salem, Oregon specifically. Confirmed editions fall in 2024 and 2026, though the platform's page prints no nomination or voting window for either one. The current page also names four featured supporters of the campaign, including Pacific Power Electric LLC and Keizer Computer; a full category list and any per-voter rule stay off the page entirely.

• CommunityVotes Salinas

• CommunityVotes Sandy

• CommunityVotes Santa Barbara

  Santa Barbara, California hosts CommunityVotes Santa Barbara, organized through a local CommunityVotes partner at santabarbara.communityvotes.com.

Santa Barbara's confirmed history spans two editions against that structure so far, 2025 and 2026. The 2026 promotion already reads closed, and a Winners 2026 heading on the site points toward results. A category list and the exact dates each stage runs go unpublished beyond that.

• CommunityVotes Santa Fe

Category names and voting rules are not printed, so check the live ballot before relying on either.

• CommunityVotes Santa Rosa

  Santa Rosa, California hosts CommunityVotes Santa Rosa, organized through a local CommunityVotes partner at santarosaca.communityvotes.com. Unlike some CommunityVotes markets, Santa Rosa's own pages print two specifics most don't - nominations close before Sunday, March 29, at 11:59 p.m., and each account, tied to one email address, gets one vote per business per category. Confirmed editions for Santa Rosa run two deep so far, 2025 plus 2026, and the 2026 promotion already reads closed. A category list is the one detail that still goes unpublished.

• CommunityVotes Savannah

• CommunityVotes Springdale

  CommunityVotes Springdale is a best-of awards ballot serving Springdale, Arkansas, operated by CommunityVotes with a local partner on the platform's own market domain. Unlike the newspaper-published contests elsewhere in the state, this one is a standalone city site at springdale.communityvotes.com. Two cycles of this Springdale program are on file, 2025 and 2026, and 2026 voting ran through the end of July before the site moved to results. Exact open and closing days, the category list and any per-supporter rule are not printed on the pages available for this program, so the live ballot is the authority on all three.

• CommunityVotes Springfield

  CommunityVotes Springfield runs a nominate-then-vote business ballot for Massachusetts's third-largest city, at springfieldma.communityvotes.com. July 3 through October 25 spans the confirmed 2026 nomination stretch here. Archived pages tie the address to 2024 too, though 2025 doesn't carry that same year-specific confirmation. That window's category list and vote cap don't appear anywhere on springfieldma.communityvotes.com, so treat the live ballot itself each cycle as the place to check for either detail.

• CommunityVotes Springfield

  Four confirmed editions, 2022 through 2026 with one quiet year in between, back CommunityVotes Springfield, the CommunityVotes network's business poll for Springfield, Missouri.

• CommunityVotes St. Cloud

• CommunityVotes St. George

  CommunityVotes St. George is a community voting awards program for St. George, Utah, run by CommunityVotes and its local partner at stgeorge.communityvotes.com. For 2026 the ballot is live and nominations run August 18 through December 13, inviting locals to put forward beloved businesses, people and services.

• CommunityVotes Suffolk VA

Three confirmed editions stand behind it, 2023, 2025 and 2026, skipping 2024 entirely. The most recent cycle's August 2026 voting window has already closed, and the page currently shows results rather than an open ballot. Neither the categories a business can enter nor any limit on repeat voting appear anywhere on that page; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

• CommunityVotes Sugar Land

  Sugar Land, Texas's CommunityVotes ballot has moved into its results stage for 2026, the second year straight this market has run since a 2025 start.

Exact voting dates beyond August, a category list, and a voting limit are not printed anywhere on it.

• CommunityVotes Sunnyvale

  CommunityVotes Sunnyvale is the community voting awards platform for Sunnyvale, California, run under the CommunityVotes name. The 2025 and 2026 cycles are confirmed, and the 2026 results phase closed in August 2026 with the winners announced. A nomination period precedes voting, and supporters cast a single vote for a given Finalist in a given category. The category list for the next cycle, and its day-level dates, are not fixed on any standing page, so supporters and businesses should confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

Past that window, no category roster, no per-voter limit, no voting-stage date sit on the page; each remains a live-ballot question rather than a settled fact.

• CommunityVotes Syracuse

  CommunityVotes Syracuse is Metroland Media's readers-choice business awards program for the Greater Syracuse area, run through nomination and voting rounds at syracuse.communityvotes.com rather than the parent company's general communityvotes.com site.

• CommunityVotes Tallahassee

  Unlike Best of Tallahassee's long-running local poll, CommunityVotes Tallahassee is organized through a local CommunityVotes partner on the national network's platform at tallahassee.communityvotes.com. Its proven history stands at 2024 plus 2026, and by August 2026 the cycle had already moved past voting into its results stage. Exactly which categories ran, and how many times one supporter could vote, needs confirming on the live ballot each cycle.

• CommunityVotes Tempe

  Where does a Tempe supporter actually go to back a local favorite in CommunityVotes Tempe? tempe.communityvotes.com, run through a local CommunityVotes partner rather than a Tempe city agency. Two editions are confirmed so far, 2021 and 2025, four years apart rather than back to back, and the live page keeps its current nomination window open May 17 through September 13. Confirm on the live ballot each cycle for anything past that window.

• CommunityVotes Thousand Oaks

  CommunityVotes Thousand Oaks is the community favorites ballot for Thousand Oaks, California, put on by a local partner under the CommunityVotes name at thousandoaksca.communityvotes.com. The 2025 and 2026 cycles are both confirmed editions, and the live 2026 nomination window runs from May 18 through September 13. Dates for the voting phase that follows, the category names and any vote limit stay unpublished on the site, so supporters and businesses should work from the live ballot before building any plan.

• CommunityVotes Toledo

• CommunityVotes Topeka

  CommunityVotes Topeka is a separate readers-choice business ballot at topeka.communityvotes.com, run by the CommunityVotes network rather than the Topeka Capital-Journal's Gannett-run Community's Choice Awards.

• CommunityVotes Torrance

  CommunityVotes Torrance is a city-level business awards ballot for Torrance, California, run by a local partner under the CommunityVotes brand.

• CommunityVotes Tyler

  CommunityVotes runs CommunityVotes Tyler, a readers'-choice business ballot for Tyler, in East Texas, at tyler.communityvotes.com. Archived pages place the site online across three separate years, yet only 2023 and the current 2026 run stand as confirmed nomination editions; a middle year shows the page was simply reachable, nothing that proves a full cycle actually ran. Exactly how many categories the ballot sorts entries into, and how often any one supporter may return to vote, goes unstated; confirm both on the live ballot each cycle.

• CommunityVotes Utica

  Metroland Media's annual CommunityVotes readers-choice awards for Utica and the Mohawk Valley, run through open nomination followed by public voting at utica.communityvotes.com.

Two confirmed years back it, 2025 and 2026, with the 2026 round's results posted in August.

  Unlike the reader surveys published by Kentucky media brands, this competition belongs to a congressional office.

  Minnesota All Sports Alliance's annual statewide honor for the state's top high school football season, narrowed each year to ten finalists and decided through multiple rounds that combine public fan voting with a jury, run at mnfootballhub.com. A different structure from Minnesota's weekly, fan-only football polls.

• Minnesota's Best

  Star Tribune's annual statewide readers-choice business awards for Minnesota, with nominations, a finalist ballot, and public voting across 350+ categories.

• Miss California International People's Choice Award

  Unlike Best of Orange County's countywide business ballot, Miss California International's People's Choice Award is a pageant fan vote, run at misscaliforniainternational.com/vote/ under the title "People's Choice Award 2026 VOTE NOW." Two editions are confirmed, 2022 and 2026, with the current cycle's voting confirmed for November 2026 and the ballot page naming a Friday, November 6, 2026 event in Sacramento. Day-level open and close dates go unpublished on that page, and so does any breakdown of categories or a limit on repeat voting; confirm all three on the live ballot each cycle.

• Miss North Carolina People's Choice

  Miss North Carolina People's Choice is a statewide pageant fundraiser vote run directly by the Miss North Carolina Organization at missnc.org/peopleschoice. Two confirmed editions stand behind it, 2024 and 2025, with voting historically opening in May and closing in June. Support is collected as a payment rather than a free click, the live page names Venmo, handle @mncorg, for support submitted online, and cash for support submitted in person at the State Competition. No single city anchors this program; confirm the category roster, per-voter cap and exact 2026 dates on the live ballot each cycle.

• Miss South Dakota People's Choice

  South Dakota's Miss South Dakota People's Choice is the audience vote that runs beside the Miss South Dakota Scholarship Organization's annual competition. The ballot lives on Spotfund, where the 2026 edition is live and the 2025 edition preceded it. The contestant with the most votes secures a Semi-Finals spot for the 2026 Miss South Dakota Competition. The ballot page prints no voting dates.

• Miss Tennessee People's Choice

  Miss Tennessee People's Choice, run by the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Organization, keeps its vote page at misstennessee.org/vote. Six confirmed editions back it, 2021 through 2026, the longest run of any program in this batch. A per-cycle opening or closing date, a division breakdown, and the exact vote-casting method are all absent from the organization's published pages.

• Mission Awards Voting

  Mission Awards Voting is the ballot for the Minnesota Nonprofit Mission Awards, run by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits from St. Paul on the council's own website. Staff, board members and volunteers of MCN member organizations each cast one vote. Editions are confirmed for 2021, 2024, 2025 and 2026, and the council has posted notice that voting for the 2026 round has closed.

  A statewide fan-vote trophy from Sports Illustrated / SBLive High School Mississippi, limited to offensive standouts only and separate from the companion defensive honor on the same ballot system. Roughly eight nominees compete each cycle; voting opens in early December and runs through December 31 at si.com/high-school/mississippi.

  The High School on SI statewide fan vote covering all seven MHSAA football classifications. Reed Green nominates the field weekly; voting is free and unlimited by the organizer's own stated rules, and the ballot closes Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Pacific — a day earlier than the Dallas regional poll.

• Mississippi High School Girls Basketball Player of the Week

  The High School on SI statewide fan vote for standout Mississippi girls basketball performers. Reed Green's editors nominate from MHSAA and MAIS schools each week, anyone can vote with no account, and the ballot closes Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Pacific — the same uncapped mechanic as every SI fan poll, but played out across a December-to-February winter season where the field can shrink to eleven names and the stats in the article are sometimes the only public record.

• Mississippi High School Girls Soccer Player of the Week

Reed Green nominates standout performers from across all MHSAA classes, anyone can vote with no account, and the poll closes Sunday at 11:59 p.m. Pacific — the same calendar as the football and basketball polls, but running a February-through-May schedule that makes spring's final weeks the real pressure point.

• Mississippi High School Softball Player of the Year

  Annual statewide girls-softball fan-vote poll at si.com/high-school/mississippi, run by High School on SI (SBLive / Sports Illustrated). Top spring fastpitch performers across all MHSAA classifications nominated; readers vote free at no account; highest fan-vote total at the deadline wins.

• Missoula Parade of Homes People's Choice Award

  The Missoula Building Industry Association's People's Choice Award, voted online after touring the homes built for the annual September Parade of Homes — a public ballot, not a jury pick, that only counts votes from people who walked through the houses first.

• Missoulian Athlete of the Week

  Missoulian.com's prep sports section runs a free weekly Athlete of the Week fan vote for western Montana high schools, sponsored by Republic Services. Unlike Montana's other prep sports polls, the vote closes at a fixed time every week: 5 p.m. Tuesday, not a day that shifts with the sports calendar.

• Missouri Baseball Player of the Year

  Two Missouri baseball honors share a name but not a process: a statewide High School on SI fan vote at si.com/high-school/missouri/baseball, decided by public voting, and Gatorade's committee-selected Missouri Baseball Player of the Year, awarded in 2025 to a Jefferson City High School player with no public ballot involved.

• Missouri Football Preseason All-State

  Summer honor from High School on SI / SBLive at si.com/high-school/missouri/football, naming a preseason All-Missouri football team across every MSHSAA classification before a single regular-season game is played. Selection blends editorial projection with reader/fan input during a summer voting window, distinct from the season's weekly and season-ending honors.

• Missouri Girls Basketball Player of the Year

  Annual fan-vote recognition run by High School on SI at si.com/high-school/missouri, covering girls basketball across all MSHSAA Classes 1-6.

  A single preseason fan vote from SI/SBLive at si.com/high-school/missouri, asking which softball player returns as Missouri's top player for the 2025 fall season.
