Vote for Seacoast girls basketball Player of the Year: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the Seacoast girls basketball Player of the Year vote is

Seacoast presents its Player of the Year honor for girls basketball as a public vote open to high school players across the Seacoast region of New Hampshire. The program runs under the Seacoast name, the publisher that covers this corner of the state, and the balloting runs on poll.fm, Crowdsignal's polling platform, just as the publisher's other reader polls do. The confirmed ballot address is poll.fm/16776022, and the 2026 edition at that address has closed.

The nominees on the most recent ballot were high school players identified by school, class and position. Schools named on the ballot include Exeter, Marshwood, Winnacunnet, Newmarket, Traip Academy, Portsmouth Christian Academy and York, a mix of New Hampshire programs and border-town schools that make up the Seacoast readership. The honor sits in the sport vertical and uses an open public-vote mechanic: supporters read the nominee field and cast a vote for the player they believe deserves the Player of the Year title.

Because the publisher is Seacoast and the market is the Seacoast region, the ballot draws its audience from communities around Portsmouth, Dover, Exeter and Newmarket, all New Hampshire towns the ballot's nominee list touches. The honor is distinct from the publisher's weekly player of the week ballots, which recognize single-game performances during the season rather than naming a season-long standout.

The dated record for the Seacoast Player of the Year vote

Two editions of Seacoast's Player of the Year vote for girls basketball are confirmed: 2023 and 2026. That spacing establishes an annual cadence for the honor, with the next cycle expected in 2027. The 2026 ballot was open during March, and the poll.fm page for the edition now carries a Poll Closed notice, so the live voting window for that year has ended.

While the 2026 ballot was open, it displayed percentage shares beside the nominees, with a leading share of 39 percent and a second-place share of 18 percent among the field. Those figures came down once the poll closed, which is typical of the poll.fm format Seacoast uses.

Several details about the honor are not printed anywhere Seacoast publishes. The publisher does not state the exact day the March window opens or the day it closes, and it does not print a category roster, since the ballot is a single Player of the Year decision rather than a multi-category survey. No per-supporter vote cap, daily return rule or eligibility text appears on the ballot page either, and the platform's own promotion listings carry no round dates for this market; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

For a supporter planning around the honor, the practical takeaway is the month rather than the day: March is when Seacoast's Player of the Year ballot for girls basketball has run, and a nominee's supporters should watch the publisher's output as that month approaches in 2027.

How a supporter votes in the Seacoast girls basketball poll

Voting in Seacoast's Player of the Year honor for girls basketball is a short, literal sequence on the Crowdsignal ballot. A supporter opens poll.fm/16776022, where the nominee list appears with each player shown beside her school, class and position. The field on the 2026 ballot drew from programs including Exeter, Marshwood, Winnacunnet, Newmarket, Traip Academy, Portsmouth Christian Academy and York, so scanning the full list before choosing matters for a Seacoast supporter who wants to back a player from her own community.

The act of voting itself is a selection and a submit. The supporter picks the control beside her chosen nominee and submits the choice on the same poll.fm page. No nomination step is asked of the voter, because Seacoast compiles the girls basketball nominee field before the ballot opens. While the 2026 edition was live, the page also showed running percentage shares under the nominees, so a submitted vote was visible in the totals.

Two practical points shape the experience. The 2026 ballot is closed, so a visit to poll.fm/16776022 today shows the Poll Closed notice rather than an active field, and a selection made there now would not count toward any honor. And the ballot page prints no instruction about signing in, no daily return rule and no cap on repeat participation, so a supporter who wants certainty about those details needs the live edition itself. When Seacoast opens the 2027 ballot, the new poll.fm address will take over as the voting page.

How this ballot sits beside Seacoast's other reader votes

Seacoast's Player of the Year vote for girls basketball is the season-capstone entry in a family of public votes from the same publisher, and knowing the neighbours prevents a supporter from landing on the wrong ballot. The publisher runs weekly player of the week programs during the season, including the New Hampshire High School Girls Basketball Player of the Week, which honors single-game performances, and parallel weeklies for baseball, football and girls soccer and volleyball.

Two basketball awards sit at the same level as the Player of the Year vote rather than below it: New Hampshire Miss Basketball and New Hampshire Mr. Basketball. Those are separate programs with their own ballots, so a vote cast on the Player of the Year page for girls basketball carries no weight toward either of them, and vice versa.

What makes the Player of the Year ballot different from the weeklies is its cadence and its scope. The weekly ballots recur through a season and rotate nominees after each round of games, while the Player of the Year vote arrives once per season, in March, and asks supporters to pick a single standout from the whole Seacoast girls basketball field. That makes the March window the moment when a nominee's supporters have a single, concentrated chance to act, unlike the weeklies where a new ballot resets the race every few days during the season.

Strengthening support for a Seacoast nominee

Because Seacoast's Player of the Year window for girls basketball is a single March ballot rather than a rolling weekly race, support has to be concentrated while the poll.fm page is live. The most effective moves are local: sharing the ballot address through the nominee's school community, booster groups and Seacoast-area basketball networks, and asking supporters to pass the link along after they vote. A nominee from Exeter, Newmarket or any of the border-town programs on the ballot has a natural audience in exactly the towns the publisher covers.

Seacoast has printed no policy addressing outside help or purchased votes for this honor, so how the publisher treats such support in the Player of the Year ballot is simply not stated anywhere. What is certain is the mechanic: an open public vote on Crowdsignal, counted as cast.
