This article explains how to validate an election event on Eligo by sending login credentials.
After completing the configuration of an election event, the final step before opening is sending the credentials. This step is crucial because, in addition to sending voting credentials to voters, it allows us to definitively confirm all the configurations and settings that have been entered.
What to do before sending credentials:
Once an event has been validated, it will no longer be possible to modify the event configurations, bulk upload voters, or remove them. Therefore, there are preliminary measures to take that will help ensure the smooth running of the election:
-
Send credentials at least 24 hours in advance to allow everyone to receive the email in time for the opening of the vote.
-
Check that all email addresses have been entered and are correct, to guarantee that all eligible voters receive their credentials.
-
Check the configurations and settings entered, particularly those of the event (Event Name, date, and time), as these will be included in the email the system sends to voters and cannot be modified afterward.
At this point, the event is ready, and you can move on to the next step.
Send Credentials
To validate the event, simply click the "Send Credentials" button:
A confirmation screen will appear:
By clicking the "Confirm" button on the right, the credentials (or direct access link, depending on your area's settings) will be sent. At this point, voters will receive the email to access the voting area.
Clicking "Advanced Options" will open a screen that allows you to customize the event validation and/or credential sending according to your needs, as explained here.
