Finalizing the Election

Once you have completed your election review and customizing the Voting Website, navigate to the Finalize section to complete a final check.

You cannot Finalize your election until you pass all the final checks on the Election Checklist. If an action is required, you will see items you need to address. A common mistake is not using a future Start Date and Start Time or not casting a vote on the proof ballot.

Once the Election Checklist is complete, proceed to the Checkout and complete your purchase. If you have previously purchased any Single Election credits that are applicable, such credits may be used for finalization, and if you have a current Annual Plan that is applicable, it can be used for finalization too. If you expect to run multiple voting events but do not have an Annual Plan, please contact Support to learn more.

A green Success Message will appear once your election has been Finalized.

Once Finalized, your Election’s Status will change from Draft to Waiting and your election will begin and end automatically at the dates and times you specified earlier.
