How to validate an electoral event with SSO (Single Sign-On)

This article explains how to validate an event that requires SSO access.

In the event that the election requires Single Sign-On (SSO) access, no credentials will be sent to voters. Users can log in directly to the platform using their institutional account (e.g., corporate, university, etc.).

However, it is still necessary to validate the event: this step is essential to confirm all settings and enable access to the system.

What to do before validating the event:

After an event has been validated, it will no longer be possible to modify the event's configurations, or to bulk upload or remove voters. Therefore, there are preliminary steps to take that help ensure the smooth running of the election.

  • Check the voter list: Make sure all users who need to vote are correctly included and that the information entered is accurate. In particular, ensure the username matches the one agreed upon with the technical team during the portal configuration phase (tax code, email address, etc.).

  • Verify the event settings: Check the name, and the opening/closing date and time, as these will be visible to voters when they log in.

  • Communicate the access link to voters: This can be found in the voting area settings.

Additionally, it's a good idea to plan to send informational communications (via email or other internal channels) in the days leading up to the election to explain to voters how to access and vote using SSO.

Validating the Event

Once all checks have been completed, you can validate the event by clicking on "Validate Data."
