Starting or Ending an Election Early

Users may have varied reasons for why an election needs to be started or ended early. For instance, you may want to start an election early so electors do not have to wait until the previously specified date and time to cast their vote, or you may want to end an election early if you have reached a specific amount of voter turnout.
To start or end an election early, use the View button for the election you wish to manage from the Elections page. This will bring you to the Election Overview section.
If the election has not yet started, next to the Start Date you will see a Start Now button. If the election has already started, next to the End Date you will see an End Now button.
When either starting or ending an election early, a Confirmation Box will pop-up asking if you are sure you want to perform this early action.
