The Journal News Readers' Choice for Lohud Boys Soccer Player of the Year, Presented by White Plains Hospital: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is the lohud boys soccer readers' choice poll?

This readers' choice poll from The Journal News and lohud.com runs as a public web ballot on Crowdsignal, which hosts it as poll.fm. The title says it is presented by White Plains Hospital. Readers choose from boys soccer nominees, so the result reflects public votes and not a judged selection. New York is the state market, and the coverage area is the Lower Hudson Valley, Rockland and Westchester that lohud serves. Readers comparing other New York listings can start at the New York contest index.

Quick facts

When has the lohud soccer readers' choice poll run?

The poll's listings confirm editions in 2023 and 2025. The 2025 ballot is dated to November through the poll's identifier. Those two confirmed years are the basis for calling the poll annual, and the next edition is expected in 2026, though its ballot is not yet listed.

The 2025 ballot carries a November date, while the 2023 listing gives only its edition year, so check the poll identifier on each new listing before voting.

The 2023 edition is the earliest year the listings confirm, so the start of the run is limited to that year. Between the 2023 and 2025 editions sits 2024, which the listings do not show, so that gap is part of the poll's history rather than a missed edition. The 2025 closing day is not in the listings; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

How do readers vote in the boys soccer ballot today?

A reader opens the public poll.fm ballot, finds the lohud boys soccer question, picks a nominee, and submits the choice on the web. Individual nominee names are left off this page because they belong to high school athletes. The table lists the towns on the 2025 ballot, which is the clearest guide to the field, and the nominees come from several towns rather than a single district.

Before voting, read the ballot title, since it names the boys soccer award and the presenter. Confirm the nominee list matches the title, because the field can change between editions. For general steps on building a public poll tally, read the get more votes online guide.

How does this soccer poll sit beside other New York ballots?

New York has several sibling ballots in the same listing set, including the lohud Boys Basketball Player of the Week and the Lohud Girls Basketball Player of the Week. Those are weekly ballots in basketball, so their format and their nominee pool differ from a season soccer poll.

The Hudson Valley New York High School Football Player of the Week and the New York High School Football Player of the Week also sit in the set. A reader should not read a football tally as a soccer result, and this page covers only the boys soccer readers' choice question.

What sets this poll apart is its Journal News and lohud.com organizer, its White Plains Hospital presenter and its dated November 2025 edition. Each New York sibling carries its own nominees and its own tally.

How can supporters strengthen their vote in this New York poll?

Strengthening support for a nominee on a public ballot comes down to reaching the people who can vote on the page. Families, coaches and school communities can share the poll link with their networks and encourage them to vote on the web page. The listings do not state an outside-help policy, so the organizer's position on shared links is unconfirmed here. Vote-building should stay inside the ballot rules at all times. For general steps, read get more votes online. The lawfulness of purchased ballot votes is set out at is buying votes legal, and for the wider state listings, return to the New York contest index.

Check the live poll page for any rule text before voting more than once, because the listings here show none. Treat a rule the organizer has not printed as unconfirmed rather than assumed. A reader who checks the title, the towns and the window first will avoid most confusion from mixing this soccer ballot with other lohud listings.

Readers who follow lohud coverage across several sports should keep each poll's tally separate. The boys soccer question is its own season ballot, with its own towns and its own window, and a result in a basketball or football listing says nothing about it.
