    Step 2

    In the text box underneath Electors, enter the Elector IDs (rather than email addresses) of the electors you wish to send an email to.

    You can send to multiple specific electors at once by entering one Elector ID per line, as shown in the example above.

    Step 3

    Click on the green Preview & Schedule button underneath the email Body.

    Missing or Bad Email

    If you've entered an Elector ID that is associated with a Bad Email or has no email address at all, you will receive the following error message:

    This may be due to the elector having unsubscribed from email blasts, or a previous email having bounced from their email address. For more information on reviewing and addressing Bad Emails, please see Managing Bad Emails.

    Step 4

    Under Schedule, select whether to Send immediately or Send later, depending on the need.
