Who is the Fan's Choice Somerset County Volleyball Player of the Year: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the Fan's Choice volleyball poll is and who runs it

Somerset County high school volleyball gets a fan award through this program, a single public ballot that asks who deserves the county's player of the year honor. Fan's Choice Somerset County, a local fan-vote organizer, runs the program, and Crowdsignal, the company that operates poll.fm, carries the ballot. The ballot sits at the address poll.fm/16310807, and the poll carries a single question that asks exactly what the title says: who the fan's choice volleyball player of the year in the county should be.

Supporters do not wade through a multi-category ballot. The page presents one list of nominated players, each paired with her school. Schools appearing on the most recent ballot include Somerset, Windber, Meyersdale, Berlin Brothersvalley and North Star, which covers much of the county's high school volleyball scene. Because the nominees are current students, this page deliberately refers only to schools and not to individual players.

The program is a fan award in the truest sense: no jury, no stats panel, just whichever nominee's community shows up. That puts it in the same family as the other Pennsylvania public votes listed at the bottom of this page, though those run on different publishers and platforms.

The dated history of this Somerset County volleyball ballot

The published history holds two editions, 2023 and 2025. That gap and that pair are the whole published history. No 2024 ballot appears anywhere in what is published, and no announcement channel for the 2026 edition exists, so the safest reading is a poll that has run more than once without a guaranteed yearly appearance.

The voting window sits in November for the most recent edition, which lines up with the end of the Pennsylvania high school volleyball season. Beyond the month, the calendar is blank. Fan's Choice Somerset County leaves the exact open and close days off the ballot page; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

Other gaps sit alongside the dates. The organizer does not print the category structure, the per-supporter vote rule or any eligibility text on the poll page. There is also no published list of platform promotion rounds for this market. Each of those is a real gap, and none of them can be filled by analogy to another county's ballot.

The most recent ballot is marked poll closed, so the 2025 tally is final and visible on the poll.fm page. A closed Crowdsignal poll keeps its final tally next to every option, which makes the result the one dated, checkable fact a supporter can still read today. When a fresh edition appears, it will surface as a new poll.fm address rather than a reopening of this one.

How to vote in the Fan's Choice volleyball poll today

Voting takes seconds. Open the ballot at poll.fm/16310807, read the single question and the list of nominees, tap the selector beside a choice and press the vote control. Crowdsignal registers the pick right away, and the count beside each option updates on the spot, so a supporter sees the standings the moment her vote lands.

If the poll is open, the options are live and the submission takes seconds. If the page shows a poll closed banner instead, the window has ended. That is the state of the most recent ballot: closed, with final counts displayed. There is no late voting, no waiting list and no second phase described on the page.

Repeat voting depends on how the organizer configured the poll, and that configuration is not printed anywhere public. Crowdsignal lets poll owners set cookie or IP based repeat rules, so a supporter hoping to vote again on another day should simply try the ballot and let the page itself say yes or no. Nothing on the poll page instructs supporters to log in, so no login stands between a supporter and her submission.

Two practical notes follow from this shape. First, with one question and a visible tally, momentum matters: a nominee whose school community votes early shows a lead that itself attracts votes. Second, since there is no write-in box, only the nominees already on the list can win, so each November the list worth checking is the current poll page, never the previous edition's.

How this ballot sits beside its Pennsylvania neighbours

Somerset County's volleyball poll is one of several Pennsylvania public votes on this site, and its nearest neighbours differ from it in publisher, scope and platform. Pennsylvania High School Softball Player of the Year covers a spring sport statewide, while this ballot covers one county and a fall sport. PennLive Mid-Penn Boys Basketball Player of the Week and the Pennsylvania High School Football Player of the Week are weekly series run by news publishers, not one-shot year-end awards.

Two others widen the lens further. Mr. PA Football is a statewide football honor, and the WICU Athlete of the Year comes from an Erie television station. The Morning Call Athlete of the Week belongs to an Allentown newspaper's weekly cycle.

Its scale and its organizer set the Fan's Choice volleyball ballot apart from every one of them. It is a county-sized award run by a fan vote brand on Crowdsignal, with nominees from Somerset, Windber, Meyersdale, Berlin Brothersvalley and North Star competing head to head on one list. A vote for a volleyball player here never carries weight in any of the other programs, and none of their vote totals or rules transfer to this ballot.

Strengthening support for a nominee in this poll

One action drives support here: getting Somerset County volleyball followers to the poll.fm page during the November window. Because the ballot shows a live tally, an organized push in the first days of voting tends to compound, since early visibility draws in voters who were not personally asked.

On outside assistance, paid or otherwise, the organizer stays silent, so nobody can quote a county rule on the subject. What is certain is the ballot's own structure: no login, no write-in box and a single question, which means every vote counts the same and only listed nominees can win.

For a nominee's circle, the practical playbook is the school community itself: team families, student sections and local pages that already follow county volleyball. A link plus a deadline does more than a general plea. Readers weighing broader options can compare approaches at award vote packages, while keeping in mind that the organizer's silence on outside help is not the same as permission.
