How it Works

What is CommunityVotes?

Our mission is to provide each community a place where its members can recognize the outstanding businesses and services that make our lives that much better each day.

CommunityVotes has provided a platform for millions of people to nominate and vote for anything from their favorite place to dine on the weekend, the friendly mechanic who they trust when they are in a bind, or the realtor who helped them move into their perfect home in the right neighborhood.

Community-driven recognition of local businesses and services provide key insights that can help you make the most of your important purchases and save you time finding the trusted business to get the job done right.

With each nomination and vote, you help make your community a better and more friendly place to live.

The Nomination Round

What is the Nomination Round?

The Nomination Round serves two purposes:

  1. It is when you have the chance to add your favorite businesses from your community. Want to reward your favorite hairstylist? Nominate them! Think your plumber did a great job? Nominate them!
  2. The nomination round is also when the public decides which businesses should make it to the Voting Round. At the end of the nomination round, the nominations are tallied and the top businesses in each category will move on to the Voting Round.
I just added a business to a category. Why isn’t showing up?
New nominations must first be reviewed by an administrator. It can sometimes take a few days.
How do I add my business to the list?
During the nomination round, you can visit the category into which you'd like to nominate the business and fill in the "Add Business to List" section at the bottom of the page.
