# Segmentation

Premium Feature Add-on

**Segmentation** is a **Premium Feature** add-on. If you are interested in additional information or pricing, please [contact support](/v1/docs/contacting-support).

“One size fits all” is rarely true when it comes to online elections. Election organizers sometimes need to enhance their basic election with more advanced features like **segmentation**.

**Segmentation** is a terrific tool which allows you to provide different voting access to different elector groups within a single unified election. Users can limit some questions to be relevant to just a "segment" of the electorate (*e.g. regional positions*; *positions based on membership type; etc.*) while still allowing other questions to be voted on by the entire electorate (*e.g. national positions; organization wide positions; etc.*).

Setting up an online election with **elector segmentation** is quite like setting up a basic election, as covered in our [**Election Manager Guide**](/v1/docs/en/election-manager), with just a few extra steps. This **Segmentation Guide** will walk you through those extra steps to add **segmentation** to your election.

Other Preliminary Considerations

- Sections not covered in this **Guide** will be identical to those covered in the [**Election Manager Guide**](/v1/docs/en/election-manager).
- This **Guide** only includes parts of the election setup and management process that are directly ***affected by Segmentation***. For comprehensive setup information, please refer to the [**Election Manager Guide**](/v1/docs/en/election-manager) for step by step instructions.

Alternative Variant: One Segment Only

The Voting System can be configured to allow for **one or two segments** for each elector. Two segments are ideal if you need additional dimensions of elector categorization (*e.g. "membership type" and "location"* ).

If you know you will need only one segment dimension for all your elections and prefer to have your account configured this way for simplicity, please [contact support](/v1/docs/contacting-support).

This **Guide** will proceed with the scenario use case of *using two segments*, though setup with one segment is nearly identical.
