Voting just opened for the only 2016 poll that matters, a poll that doesn't mention Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump.

I'm obviously talking about the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie of the Year poll, which decides who gets to join legends Chrissy Teigen (2010 winner), Kate Upton (2011 winner), and Kelly Rohrbach (2015 winner).

You can vote here, but I strongly suggest doing your homework first.

Here is a Washington Free Beacon fact sheet on the candidates:


 Sofia Resing

Brazilian model Sofia Resing is a force to be reckoned with. Here is a short interview GQ did with her last year:

Also up for the award is plus-sized model Ashley Graham. Here she is on a boat:

Bo Krsmanovic

Serbian Bojana Krsmanovic is sure to challenge the other girls based on this picture alone:

This one won't hurt either:

Here she is in Vegas:

Don't know where she is here, but who cares:

Here she is wearing gloves:

Good luck, Bojana.


Barbara Palvin

Hungarian model Barbara Palvin should not be overlooked.

Based on her Instagram page, she is a complete badass. Look at her here:

She is friends with Jennifer Lawrence, a Washington Free Beacon favorite:

Here she is at the pool:

Here is the look that likely convinced Sports Illustrated to nominate her for Rookie of the Year:

This is what she wears on Valentines Day:

This, I think, is my favorite picture of her:

And this is a close second:

Don't sleep on Barbara winning this thing.


 Tanya Mityushina

Last, but certainly not least, is Russian Tanya Mityushina. Her Sports Illustrated beach photo shoot was insane:

The beach is a good look for Tanya:

But she looks pretty great off the beach too:

The race for Rookie of the Year will end on March 11 and is sure to be a close one. I recommend taking your time deciding who you want to vote for.
