How we keep the votes real
An award only means something if the votes behind it are real. Here's exactly how it works — no anonymous clicking, no refresh-and-vote-again.
2. One voter, one vote
One vote per category per email address, changeable any time until voting closes. Duplicates and bulk sign-ups get filtered out.
3. Local votes carry the weight
ZIP codes inside Garden Grove (92840, 92841, 92843, 92844, 92845) count as resident votes. Everyone else still gets a fan vote — shown separately, never decides a category.
4. 200 votes to certify
A category needs at least 200 total votes to become an official award. Voting closes December 31, 2026, and the business with the most votes on that day wins the plaque.
