Nomination

During a ballot's nomination phase, the moderator is responsible for approving and rejecting nominations. Only approved nominations will be displayed on the front end and be available for voting or advancement. All pending nominations should be approved or rejected before moving onto the next phase

The moderator may optionally bulk upload nominees. There are a number of reasons for this, including the use and reconciliation of paper ballots. See Upload Nominations for additional information

Additionally, the moderator is able to update contestant names by clicking on the "pencil" icon under the Action column and is able to merge nominations that were entered with slightly different spellings into a single nominee. See Merging Nominations for additional information

To manage your ballot's nominations, expand the type of ballot in question (Groups, Categories, or List), and follow the instructions below:
