Changes to the Popularity Poll

At their Fall 2008 Meeting, the AHS Board of Directors voted to make several changes to the Popularity Poll to improve the quality of the results and to emphasize the regional nature of those results. Each Region will now have its own ballot based on past regional favorites. Each member will still have 10 votes, and up to 5 of these may still be write-ins. Garden Judges in particular are encouraged to use those write-ins to keep the ballot fresh with newer cultivars that have been observed to perform well in their region. In addition to this big change, the AHS also clarified its policy on group voting. While many clubs and families choose to work on their ballots at the same time, each member must vote their own ballot and avoid influencing the votes of others to keep the results fair.

Voting

As a service to its members and to the general public, each year the American Hemerocallis Society (AHS) conducts a popularity poll among its members to determine the favorite daylilies from each region. It is the hope of the AHS that this Popularity Poll presents a true picture of which daylilies perform well in a given area and which are best liked by the membership. Popularity polls are important to daylily growers -- both AHS members and nonmembers -- who make daylily selections for purchase.

Voting Requirements:

All AHS members are eligible to vote and should participate.
Vote for up to, but no more than ten (10) cultivars. Note: a valid ballot may consist of only one vote.
For Dual Memberships, the second member should use another copy of the ballot unless their regional ballot provides a second column for votes.
Price need not be considered. (This means that while you can vote for expensive plants if you want to, but you are also encouraged to vote for inexpensive older varieties if they are your personal favorite.)
Select your favorite registered, well established cultivars (no seedlings) which you have observed in your garden or immediate area.
Mail or email your choices to your regional tabulator. If your region includes a form on your regional website, you may use that also.
All AHS members may also mail their choices to their regional Pop Poll Tabulator.
Whichever submission method you choose, please submit your ballot only once.

Postmark deadline is SEPTEMBER 1st, 2009.

Group Voting

The AHS Board of Directors approved this statement to clarify the AHS policy regarding clubs and family groups that fill out their ballots at the same time and some special case memberships which cannot vote.

The Popularity Poll is intended to be an individual's own personal vote for the member's favorite daylilies. Independent voting ensures each member's vote will carry equal weight in choosing the Region's most popular daylilies. Group voting and other activities which influence the poll's outcome are not allowed and may result in those ballots not being counted. Each individual member may vote one ballot regardless of the memberships held and the voting habits of their dual members. Clubs, corporations, and institutions shall not vote, nor shall they be included when determining participation.
