Now Which Was Your Favorite Super Bowl Lii Commercial Poll (sojo1049): How Voting Works & How to Win

What the WSJO Super Bowl LII commercial poll is

This page covers a single New Jersey program: the "Now Which Was Your Favorite Super Bowl LII Commercial Poll" run by WSJO, the radio station operating the sojo1049.com domain. WSJO serves the Atlantic City market, and the poll is exactly what its title says, a listener question about the commercials that aired during Super Bowl LII rather than a business-directory award or a judged competition.

The ballot is hosted on the organizer's own site. That matters for anyone used to the big national contest platforms, because there is no third-party voting dashboard here, no separate contest microsite, and no platform login standing between a supporter and the poll. The page at sojo1049.com carries the question, the commercial choices, and the vote control in one place, framed in the station's own voice: it concedes that most people paid more attention to the commercials than to the game, then asks which one was the favorite and tells the reader to take the poll.

In the wider contest landscape the program sits in the best-of vertical, in the same family as the reader-vote programs listed at the end of this page, but it is a single-question audience poll rather than a multi-category ballot. The table below gathers the fixed details for this program.

The dated history of this poll

The confirmed edition years for the poll are 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. That history shows a program that skipped at least one year, since nothing sits between 2019 and 2022 in the confirmed list, and then settled into an unbroken run from 2022 onward. The 2026 cycle has not been confirmed on this page, so a reader looking for the next edition should treat its existence as open until the station posts it.

The dated anchor for the ballot itself is February 2018: the poll page was published on February 5, 2018, the morning after the game it asks about, and the confirmed voting window for that cycle ran from February 1 through February 28, 2018. That February placement is the one month-level fact the ballot page supports, and it fits the subject matter, since a Super Bowl commercial poll naturally belongs to the weeks right after the broadcast.

Below the month level, WSJO publishes nothing further: the station does not print the exact open and close days for later cycles, a list of the commercials on the ballot, or any per-supporter voting rule or eligibility text; confirm on the live ballot each cycle. A reader planning around this poll should therefore treat February as the season and the poll page as the only source for the fine print of any given cycle.

How a supporter votes in the poll today

The mechanic is about as simple as a public vote gets. A supporter starts at the ballot address on sojo1049.com, reads the station's framing of the question, looks over the Super Bowl LII commercials presented as options, picks a favorite, and submits the pick through the poll control on the page. There is no nomination round described on the ballot, no bracket, and no separate entry step; the page presents one question and one action.

Because the host is the station's own site, the whole experience lives at one address. A supporter does not move between a contest portal and a voting platform, and the poll sits alongside the station's regular content rather than on a dedicated contest domain. The page copy sets the tone in the station's own words: "Let's be honest, you paid more attention to the commercials than the game last night. The big question is, which was your favorite? Take our poll."

Two practical points follow from that setup. First, the commercial lineup is shown on the ballot itself, and the station keeps no separate published roster, so the options a supporter sees are the options for that cycle. Second, the station publishes no rules text beside the poll, so there is no printed statement about repeat voting, eligibility, or how submissions are counted. The literal sequence for a supporter is: open the page, review the options, select one, submit, and if the poll matters to you, check whether the page still accepts submissions before planning a return visit during the February window.

How this poll sits beside its New Jersey neighbours

New Jersey has a busy reader-vote scene, and this poll is the lightest-weight entry in it. The state's larger programs are multi-category affairs: the Asbury Park Press Readers' Choice and the Best of Bergen Community's Choice Awards both run wide category slates backed by daily newspapers or regional publishers, and the Best of New Jersey program covers the whole state. Food-focused readers have the Jersey Bites Monmouth County Readers' Choice, and shore-area businesses have the Best of Jersey Shore Contest, while professional services appear in the Bergen & Morris Top Dentists ballot.

Against that field, the WSJO poll differs on three axes. It asks one question instead of dozens. It runs on sojo1049.com itself rather than a rented contest platform, so the supporter experience is a single page. And its subject is a moment, the commercial break of one Super Bowl broadcast, rather than a year of local business. The audience is WSJO's listener base around Atlantic City, not a county-wide shopping public, and a vote here is a pop-culture pick, not a recommendation of a local merchant.

For a supporter, that means the effort per vote is low but the stakes are low too: the poll decides a favorite advertisement, and the practical way to move it is getting more listeners to the single ballot page during the February window.

Moving the needle in a single-question radio poll

Because this ballot asks one question on the station's own site, support campaigns look different from the multi-category newspaper contests. There is no category page to rank on and no nomination stage to fight through; the entire contest is one poll control on one page at sojo1049.com. That concentrates everything: every supporter you reach goes to the same address and makes the same single pick, so the campaign is a traffic question, not a ballot-navigation question.

The station publishes no rules text beside the poll, so there is no printed statement about how many submissions one person may make or what outside help is acceptable. That silence cuts both ways: nothing printed restricts a coordinated push, and nothing printed protects one either, so anyone organizing support should work from what the live page permits at the time. The general playbook for small public polls, timing outreach right after the game when attention on commercials peaks, and making the single click effortless for listeners, is set out in how to get more votes online. Anyone weighing purchased support for this specific poll can compare options at buy votes online, but the organizer's silence on the rules means the live page is the sole ruling text for what counts in any given February cycle.
