How we keep the votes real
An award only means something if the votes behind it are real. Here's exactly how our verification works — no anonymous clicking, no refresh-and-vote-again.
1. Verify your email
Enter your email and ZIP code. We send a one-click link — clicking it proves the address is real and yours. No password, no spam.
2. One voter, one vote
Every ballot is tied to a verified account. One vote per category, changeable any time. Duplicate emails, bots and bulk sign-ups get filtered out.
3. Local votes carry the weight
ZIP codes inside Chino Hills and Bonita count as resident votes. Everyone else still gets a fan vote — it's shown separately and never decides a category.
4. 200 votes minimum to certify
A category must collect at least 200 total votes across all nominees to become an official award — for example 40 for one business and 160 for another. Reaching 200 does not end voting; votes keep adding up all year. Voting closes December 31, 2026, and in every certified category, the business with the most votes on that final day is the winner and gets the plaque.
