## Reviewing the nominees

All nominees are listed on the **Nomination Results** page.

The **Votes** column indicates the number of electors who nominated the candidate for this position.

The **Multiple Nominations** column indicates when a single nominee has been nominated for more than 1 position.

The **Confirmation** column indicates whether the nominee has accepted or declined their nomination, if applicable (see [Allow nominees to confirm their nomination](/v1/docs/nomination-election-details#allow-nominees-to-confirm-their-nomination)).

The **Status** column indicates whether you have approved or disapproved the nominee (optional).

You may download the full list of nominees as a **CSV** file by clicking **Download Nominations CSV** at the bottom of the results table.

## Notifying the Nominees

> [!WARNING]
> This feature requires the [**Allow nominees to confirm their nomination**](/v1/docs/nomination-election-details#allow-nominees-to-confirm-their-nomination) setting to be enabled in **Election Details** prior to finalization.

To notify the nominees and invite them to accept or decline their nominations, you must send an **Email Blast** to “*Nominees that have not confirmed*”.

See [**Nomination Email Blasts**](/v1/docs/nomination-email-blasts#nominees-that-have-not-confirmed) for detailed instructions on sending this type of email blast.

See [**Nominee Confirmation Process**](/v1/docs/nominee-confirmation-process) for more information about the confirmation experience from a nominee’s point of view.

## Approving & Disapproving Nominees

If your election process requires nominations to be reviewed and validated internally, the voting system provides you with an easy way to do so directly from the **Nomination Results** page.

Approving candidates makes it easier to [populate the final election ballot](/v1/docs/nomination-results-reports#populating-the-election-ballot) once the confirmation period has ended.

You may change a nominee's **Status** by clicking on the **Edit** button in the **Action** column.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/a78bcdfe-0fc1-4248-a709-1fe58ecd1ca1/Images/Documentation/image(216).png)

On the **Nomination Details** page, click on the dropdown menu under **Status** and select *Approve* or *Disapprove*, as desired, then click **Save.**

![](https://cdn.document360.io/a78bcdfe-0fc1-4248-a709-1fe58ecd1ca1/Images/Documentation/image(217).png)

A **Success** message will appear on screen, and the nominee’s **Status** will be updated on the **Nomination Results** page.

## Editing Photos and Statements

> [!WARNING]
> This feature requires the [**Allow nominees to provide their statement**](/v1/docs/nomination-election-details#allow-nominees-to-provide-their-statement) and / or [**Allow nominees to upload their photo**](/v1/docs/nomination-election-details#allow-nominees-to-upload-their-photo) settings to be enabled in **Election Details** prior to finalization.

Once a nominee has provided a photo and / or a candidate statement, you may review and edit their submission.

To do so, from the **Nomination Results** page, click on the **Edit** button in the **Action** column.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/a78bcdfe-0fc1-4248-a709-1fe58ecd1ca1/Images/Documentation/image(216).png)

On the **Nomination Details** page, you may replace the candidate photo under **Candidate Photo** by browsing for an image file on your device. To delete an existing photo, check the box next to **Delete photo**, then click **Save**.

You may also edit the candidate statement (if applicable) under **Candidate Description**. After any changes are made, click **Save** to apply the changes.

## Next Steps

Once you are done processing nominations (and once the **confirmation period** is finished, if applicable), you may [**populate the election ballot**](/v1/docs/populating-the-election-ballot).
