The Oregonian/OregonLive Volleyball Player of the Week: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the Oregonian volleyball poll is

The Oregonian/OregonLive Volleyball Player of the Week is a public poll that runs on Crowdsignal, the poll.fm platform. The organizer is listed as Oregonian / OregonLive, and the poll sits on its own poll.fm address rather than on a separate newspaper site. It is a volleyball ballot for Oregon, so the state and the sport are the two anchors stated here.

The mechanic is listed as a public vote, which means supporters rather than a judging panel decide the result. The vertical is sport, and the poll sits alongside the other Oregon athlete ballots on this site rather than beside business or pageant contests.

The source names no city for this poll, so Oregon and the Oregonian and OregonLive organizer are the only places stated here. Readers should not infer a metro area that the source does not name.

What window does the source confirm for the 2025 season?

The confirmed ballots fall between September and November 2025. That is the only window the source gives, and it covers a single season. The poll title names the volleyball award, so a supporter who opens the link can match the title to the season before choosing a nominee.

The first confirmed edition is the 2025 season; whether it returns next year is not yet published; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

The source gives no closing day for the season, and it does not describe any round or stage beyond the single window, so the three months above are all that can be stated from the source. A reader who expected a longer calendar, with opening and closing days, will find the source thinner than that. The safest reading is that the autumn 2025 ballot is the only dated point the source supports, and any other timing should be read from the live poll rather than assumed.

How does a supporter vote on the poll today?

A supporter opens the Crowdsignal poll, checks the volleyball title, picks one nominee from the grouped list, and submits the choice. The nominees are grouped by region and school, which makes the list easier to scan than a single long roll of names.

The table below lays out the steps in the order a supporter meets them. The source names no separate app, sign-in or vote limit, so the live page is where each step must be confirmed before a choice is made.

The poll does not specify a vote cap in the source, so the limit on votes per supporter must be read on the live page before a choice is submitted. Because the choice is made on one page, the whole process is short, with no separate registration step named anywhere in the source. A supporter who wants to revisit the ballot later can save the poll.fm address, but should still confirm the title each time, since the same address can hold a different season in the source's listing. Checking the title takes seconds and prevents a choice from landing on the wrong ballot.

How does this volleyball ballot sit beside other Oregon polls?

This poll has six sibling programs on this site in Oregon: the Bend Bulletin Athletes of the Week, and five player-of-the-week ballots covering baseball, boys basketball, girls basketball, football and softball. Those five share the Oregon sport group but name different sports, so a supporter moving between them should check each poll's title and window.

The volleyball ballot is distinct because it is the only one in this group that covers volleyball, and its sport-specific title is the first thing to check. Its organizer is the Oregonian and OregonLive pairing, not the Bend Bulletin, and its window is a single autumn stretch in 2025. For the wider list of state contests, see the Oregon contests index, and for a closely related ballot, the Bend Bulletin Athletes of the Week poll is the nearest comparison.

How can a supporter back a volleyball nominee?

The poll is a public vote, so supporters who want to back a nominee can share the Crowdsignal address with friends and check the standings before the 2025 window closes. The source describes no outside promotion from the organizer, so any push for a nominee comes from supporters themselves. Sharing is simple because the whole ballot sits at one poll.fm address, so a single link reaches every nominee on the list.
