Official balloting begins today for the 2018 Best of Twin Harbors program — but the online poll will be open for only 10 days.

This year’s ballot represents the first time in the program’s 25-year history that every name listed in the 135 categories was the result of reader participation. A total of 4,329 nominations were submitted in the past month.

“The residents of our community and readers of both our print and Web platforms took the time to let us know who they believed should be considered the Best of Twin Harbors in 2018,” said Daily World Publisher Stan Woody.

“We’re excited about the scope and breadth of this year’s ballot,” he added, “and we’re hopeful we can eclipse last year’s vote total of 7,830.”

Voting begins today at BestOfTwinHarbors.com, and will close at 11:59 p.m. Feb. 12.
