2023 Readers’Choice People and Places ends Friday

This year’s Readers’ Choice voting will officially end on July 7, at 8:00 p.m. As of Sunday evening, there were well over a record 50,000 votes, with 1,412 participants voting this year. Each year the newspaper learns something new and tries to tweak it to make it better for the next year. Because of the popularity of the voting, we extended the deadline to vote. We received mixed reviews and next year will stick to a hard deadline.
