Candidate information consists of the following information.

  1. A photo of your candidate (Optional)
  2. The position this candidate belongs to (created when adding positions)
  3. The name of your candidate
  4. The manifesto or statement for your candidate

When you have entered all the details, click the “Add candidate” button to finish.

View All Candidates #

To view all of your current candidates, navigate back to the main “Candidates” menu tab, you will be presented with a list of all candidates currently added to your election.

If required, you may filter candidates by a specific position.

After you have added candidate(s) to your election, you will have the option to perform specific actions on a candidate – these are described in our help document here

 

Additional Notes. #

  • Candidate photos will be adjusted to show the face portion of the photo where possible.
