CORDELE — Time is running out to vote for the Cordele Dispatch 2016 Reader’s Choice Awards.

For the past month the Dispatch has featured a ballot sheet (see page 6B) to give readers an opportunity to tell us who they think offers the best food, merchandise, and services in the community. New to the selections for 2016 readers can vote for their top community leaders through in Crisp, Dooly, and Wilcox Counties.

To vote simply detach the ballot from the newspaper, write in your choice per category on the line provided. Voters must fill in a minimum of 10 categories for the vote to be accepted. Citizens can also find the ballot and cast their votes on-line at www.cordeledispatch.com

Due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, the Dispatch will be accepting ballots until 5 p.m. Tuesday, September 6.

Voters will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $250 gift certificate for the winning business of their choice.

The Reader’s Choice honorees will be featured a special section of the Cordele Dispatch set for September 28.
