VOTING
Vote for your Starr and Hidalgo county favorites in the different sections of this ballot. A few helpful hints:
- Make sure to vote in at least 20 categories for your ballot to count.
- You can vote once per day, so encourage your friends and come back to vote often!
- Enter all your votes for a section, then click Submit & Continue to go on to the next section.
- You can switch back and forth between sections by clicking on the section names in the menu. Once you click Submit on a section, though, you can’t go back to change your votes.
- If you need to leave and come back later, just close the window and register again with the same email address to continue where you left off.
- To submit your final ballot, you can (A) click Submit and Continue on all sections, or (B) click Finalize my Ballot.
Online voting begins July 10th, 2025.
