Here are the rules for the 2012 Best of Memphis Reader's Poll:

1. The voting period is 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, July 11th, through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, July 29th.

2. Your ballot must have at least 50 percent of the categories completed to be counted.

3. One ballot per reader, please. We reserve the right to discard any ballot we deem fraudulent.

4. Have a problem voting? Call us Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. at 521-9000. Or e-mail us at voting@memphisflyer.com.

A few notes before you get started...

All categories have a write-in option. Many categories also include a drop-down menu with choices added by an editorial selection committee. We include the choices in the drop-down menus to help make our ballot counting faster, not to encourage you to vote one way or the other. So please, vote your conscience and use the write-in area if necessary.

At the beginning of the ballot, we ask for your name, e-mail address, and daytime phone number. The information is just to validate your ballot and will not be shared with anyone, ever. We promise.
