How To Stuff the Ballot Boxes for the 2012 Swampies

Did you know that you can vote up to 4 times in each category of the 2012 Swamplot Awards for Houston Real Estate? But you’ve got to follow the rules for them to be counted. You’re allowed to vote once in a comment to the official ballot post for the category, once in an email to Swamplot, once from your Twitter account, and once on the wall of Swamplotâ€™s Facebook page. Youâ€™ll find more details on how to do each (and how not to have your votes disqualified) here.

Nominations in all 7 categories of this year’s Swampies are now closed; balloting has begun in 5 of them so far: Most Overlooked Neighborhood, the “It’s Alive!” Award, the Swamplot Award for Special Achievement in Traffic, Best Demolition, and Favorite Houston Design ClichÃ©. Did any of your favorites make it to the ballot? Recruit your friends to vote for them. Weâ€™ve got 2 more categories coming up this week, and then a short voting season: All votes for all categories must be in by 5 pm on Wednesday, December 26th.
