VOTING BALLOTS OPEN WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 2026

When the voting ballot is sent out, only the main contact (one person) from each active Hancock Chamber membership can cast an electronic ballot to record their vote for Businesses of the Year for each city and the County, Nonprofits of the Year, and Citizen of the Year from the Top Ten Outstanding Citizens.

Ballots are non-transferable and can only be cast once by the main contact. Putting this process in place for this awards program will make the voting process fair to all nominees. While we hope you will share the social media posts about the nominees, the actual ballot received by the main contact for each Hancock Chamber membership cannot be shared or replicated.
