ALAMOSA– Voting in the annual “Best of Alamosa County” survey begins today with the first of three insertions of the official ballot in today’s copies of the Valley Courier distributed in Alamosa County.

Ballots will also be distributed in the Wednesday, Sept. 20 and Saturday, Sept. 23 editions of the Courier.

The rules have changed slightly this year to avoid “ballot box stuffing” that has been attempted in the past. Those clearly invalid in the past have been eliminated from the voting.

ALAMOSA COUNTY

• Must be 21 years of age and older to participate
