You Spoke. We Listened. Here’s how it works. You did your research. You consulted with friends and family members. You sorted through the countless restaurants, shops and family-run businesses throughout Long Island, and you nominated those you deemed worthy of the ultimate honor of being crowned “The Best.” But that was really just the start. These nominees are then compiled on a master ballot, and the voting opens, this year until December 15 at midnight. This window affords everyone the opportunity to vote for whatever local store, restaurant, business or individual they feel should hold a Best of Long Island title. You are allowed one vote per day for each category. Voting for the Best of Long Island is not only an excellent way to support the places you frequent, but your vote helps spread the word about local businesses, products and services you feel deserve the recognition. Once the voting ends, the results are added up and double-checked for fraudulent voting or obvious abuse (those votes are then removed). After this vetting, the results are tallied once again. A third-party administrator runs the voting pages.
