# Nominee Confirmation Process

> [!WARNING]
> The steps below are written from the **point of view of a nominee**.

As part of a nomination election, you may have been **nominated** by your peers for one or more positions on the ballot.

An **email notification** may have been sent to you inviting you to accept or decline your nomination, and in certain cases to provide additional information.

## Accepting or Declining a Nomination

To accept or decline your nomination(s), simply log into the **voting website** indicated in the email notification using your elector credentials.

Upon successful authentication, you will be shown the **position(s)** for which you have been nominated on the **Dashboard**.

To accept a nomination, click **Accept** next to the accepted position.

> [!WARNING]
> **Important:** If you were nominated for more than 1 position, **accepting one nomination automatically declines all others**.

To decline a nomination, click **Decline** next to the declined position.

## Editing Your Accepted Nomination

In certain cases, you may be allowed to upload a candidate photo and / or provide a candidate statement that will be shown on the final election ballot.

Once you have accepted a nomination, from the **Dashboard**, click on the **Edit Nomination** button.

In the window that opens, you may provide the following information:

- If **candidate photos** are allowed by the election organizer, you may upload a photo in GIF, PNG, JPG, or JPEG format by clicking **Choose File** and browsing for an image file on your device. The file size must not exceed 5 MB.
- If **candidate statements** are allowed by the election organizer, you may type (or paste) your candidate statement in the **Statement** text box. A character limit is displayed at the bottom of the text box.

Once your information is added, click **Save** at the bottom of the form. A **Success** message will appear on screen to confirm that your submission was received.

You can make later changes to your photo and / or statement by returning to the voting website **before the end of the confirmation period** (indicated in your email notification) and clicking the **Edit Nomination** button on the **Dashboard**.
