The VYPE Okmulgee Area Defensive Lineman Preseason Poll is a fans choice ballot run by VYPE 3 Rivers OK in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. It is hosted on Crowdsignal (poll.fm), and it asks fans to back one defensive lineman from a list of nominees that appears as the ballot's poll answers. Supporters vote in a web browser on the poll page, so the program is a public vote and not a jury or panel selection.

The organizer's name on the ballot is VYPE 3 Rivers OK, and the poll title carries the Okmulgee area name. The program is placed in Okmulgee and the state is Oklahoma, with no second city named in the ballot text.
Two editions are confirmed for this ballot, with runs in 2025 and 2026, and the run pattern reads as yearly. The 2026 ballot carries the closing line Poll Ends 9/2 and reads Poll Closed in the text available for this page. The 2025 run is the earlier of the two, and a third edition has not been named by the organizer.
| Stage | Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Preseason fans choice ballot, 2026 | August | Month taken from the ballot's own dating |
| Closing line | Poll Ends 9/2 | Shown in the ballot title |
| Status | Closed | Ballot reads Poll Closed |
| Earlier edition | 2025 | Live ballot run on poll.fm/17401126 |
The ballot text gives no opening day for the window, so the first day of voting is unpublished. No category list has been published for this program, and no platform round dates are attached to this market. Confirm on the live ballot each cycle before planning any push for a nominee.
The gap between the 2025 and 2026 runs is the main planning fact on the page. A supporter preparing for a future round has one prior ballot to study, and the closing line in the title is the only dated anchor available, so it should be read first and checked against the live poll each time.
A supporter opens the poll at poll.fm/17401126, reads the nominees listed as poll answers, selects one and submits the vote on the Crowdsignal page. The closed ballot shows each nominee's share and vote count, which makes the spread easy to read at a glance.
| Rank on closed ballot | Share of vote | Votes |
|---|---|---|
| Leading nominee | 64% | 3,173 votes |
| Second nominee | 28% | 1,402 votes |
| Third nominee | 3% | 156 votes |
On the closed ballot the leading nominee drew 64% of the vote, or 3,173 votes, while the nominee in second place took 28%. That gap between first and second is the clearest single fact about how this ballot was decided.
Most Oklahoma ballots on this site are general best-of polls rather than single-position votes. This one is narrower: a single position group, defensive linemen, inside one preseason football ballot run by VYPE 3 Rivers OK. That narrower scope is what sets it apart from the Oklahoma siblings listed below.
| Oklahoma sibling | Vertical |
|---|---|
| 405 Magazine Best of 405 | Best-of |
| Best of OKC | Best-of |
| Best of OKC (Oklahoma Gazette) | Best-of |
| Best of the 405 | Best-of |
| Norman Transcript Readers' Choice | Best-of |
| Anne Roberts People's Choice Awards | Best-of |
A reader comparing options can start with 405 Magazine Best of 405, which is a general best-of ballot. The Okmulgee poll is the one on this list that names a single position in its title.
The most direct lever on a ballot like this is the supporter's own network. Sharing the poll link with people who already follow the program, and reminding them that the closing line is Poll Ends 9/2, is the practical step most supporters take. Nothing in the ballot text describes a separate promotion channel, so the link is the main tool available.
No rule on help from outside the poll appears in the ballot text, so none is quoted here. Supporters who want the general steps for a public vote can read getting more votes online, which covers the same mechanic without tying it to this one nominee. Each nominee's standing on the closed ballot is set by the public count alone, and no shortcut changes that count.
The Okmulgee poll is one of several Oklahoma public votes that a reader may compare. Its place in that group comes from its single-position format, its Crowdsignal host and its two confirmed editions. The Best of OKC polls run as broad city-wide ballots, so a reader searching for a city-wide award will find Best of OKC a better match for that intent.
The Norman Transcript Readers' Choice ballot sits in the same general group, as does the awards-style listing under the Anne Roberts name. Each is run by its own publisher, so a supporter should read the title of each ballot before voting rather than assume the VYPE format carries over.
Put side by side, the siblings show the spread of Oklahoma public votes on this site: several broad best-of polls and one narrow position poll. The narrow format is what gives the Okmulgee program its own search intent.
Open the ballot at poll.fm/17401126 and read the title, which names the Okmulgee area and the sponsor.
Read the nominee list shown as poll answers and choose the nominee you want to back.
Submit your choice on the Crowdsignal page before the closing line, Poll Ends 9/2, passes.
Check the ballot status first, since the title reads Poll Closed for the 2026 window.
