Why Best of Long Island Is So Hard to Win

  • It’s decided by the public. Long Islanders nominate businesses, then vote for the finalists; each contest takes nearly a full year of nominating, voting and counting (Long Island Press).
  • The voting pool is huge. A record-breaking 1.3 million votes in 2026, more than 1.2 million in 2025, and more than 1 million votes plus 100,000+ nominations in 2024 (2025, 2024).
  • The count is audited. A third party tallies the votes and weeds out fraudulent activity, and an independent auditor certifies the fairness and accuracy of the results (Long Island Press, 2024).
  • It’s Long Island’s biggest business award. The Long Island Press calls it the largest business awards program in Long Island’s history (source).
  • Winning once is common; winning every year is not. Eleven consecutive Best Electrician titles is the longest run in the category’s published history (winner history).

Bethpage or FourLeaf? It’s the same contest. Until 2025 it was sponsored as the Bethpage Best of Long Island; the sponsor, Bethpage Federal Credit Union, officially became FourLeaf Federal Credit Union on March 3, 2025 (Long Island Press). That’s why BQ Electric’s older badges say “Bethpage” and the newer ones say “FourLeaf.”

Daily Voice Readers’ Choice – Best Electrician on Long Island 2024

In 2024, BQ Electric was also named Best Electrician on Long Island in the Daily Voice Readers’ Choice Awards. The contest began with reader nominations in October and ended with a December vote among the finalists in more than 80 categories.
