FAQ:

How is this different from past Readers' Choice polls?

We're running all the categories at once to give you more time to vote and spread the word. We've also made a few other improvements—like requiring registration to vote, which will improve the fairness and accuracy of polls.

My business already won a Readers' Choice poll. What does this mean for us?

Congratulations! Our reigning winners are still the champs in their categories, and we won't be repeating polls in any categories where we've already given awards this year. If your business won a Readers' Choice poll and you haven't yet received your certificate, someone from Elk Grove Patch will be contacting you shortly to schedule delivery.
