Publish Election

Every time an administrator modifies data at the electoral event, election, contest, or candidate level, those changes must be published to become visible in the Voter Portal. This ensures that the voting interface remains accurate and synchronized with the latest administrative configurations.

Step 1: Access the Publish Menu​

  1. Select the Electoral Event you wish to update from the sidebar.
  2. Navigate to the Publish menu in the top navigation bar.
  3. The Publish History screen will display a log of all previous publications, including dates and generation status.

  2. Select a specific Area to preview, as ballots may vary by location.
  3. The system will open the Voter Portal in a demo mode, allowing you to review the user experience without casting real votes.
