Open the ballot
In Cartily, tap the gold Vote chip on the map, or open the ☰ menu and tap Best of 2026. You'll need a free profile to vote.
The ballot opens for your town. To vote somewhere else, tap Change town under the title. You can vote in any town that has a ballot.
Vote
- Tap a category, like Best Cart Overall, Best Looking Shop, Friendliest Shop, Hidden Gem or Best Newcomer. Some towns also have categories like Best Farm Stand or Best Cookies.
- Pick a shop. Shops you've visited are listed first.
- Tap Vote for the shop.
You get one vote per category in each town, and you can't vote for your own shop. You can change your picks until Dec 31, 11:59 PM in your town's time zone.
Can't find your favorite? Tap Invite them to Cartily to send them your invite link.
Who wins
Winners are announced in early January. They get a Best of badge on their Cartily page. Results go up at cartily.co/vote/ followed by your town's name.
Support them beyond the vote
A vote is fun, but a visit, a follow or a shout-out helps a shop right now. Check its hours and posts, bring a friend, and tap Shout-out to tell them what you loved.
