When you start nominating or voting in the first category of your choice, you will be asked for your email address and zip code. When you complete this step, you will be registered and you can continue making selections on the ballot.
If you have trouble with that process, we would suggest trying a different browser and device. If that doesn't work, please let us know by emailing daysies@sevendaysvt.com.
Sure! As long as you've already registered in that round and it's before deadline, you can pick up where you left off.

Our balloting software requires that users create an account for each round. This helps us police ballot box stuffing and allows you to revisit your ballot before deadline to make changes and additional nominations (round #1) or votes (round #2).

Readers write in nominations during Round #1. Real Seven Dayzers — aka Corey and Carolyn — buckle down, order pizza and merge all the variations on similar nominations into a master list. The most popular nominees in each category advance to the voting round (Round #2), and then the fine people of Vermont vote on their faves.
If a category receives an overwhelming amount of nominations (enough to break it into ICC and OCC), we will add the designation in the voting round.
Even though we received more votes in Round 1 than last year (68,147 in 2019, versus 56,383 in 2018), there were unfortunately a few categories that received insufficient votes to proceed to the next round. We're bummed, too — but we have to make sure that Daysies finalists are truly worthy, and categories in which nominees received just a handful of votes did not meet our standards.
