Upload Nominations

During the Nomination phase or the Contestant Selection phase, the moderator may want to bulk upload nominees. There are a number of reasons for this including the use and reconciliation of paper ballots.

To bulk Upload Nominations, follow the instructions below:

  1. Click View Sample CSV within the menu next to the Upload Nominations call to action to download a sample CSV file based on your selected Detail Level (Ballot Builder Groups, Ballot Builder Categories, or Ballot Builder List)
  1. Open the sample CSV file replacing the default information (G1, C1, E1, and Points) with information specific to your ballot where G is the group name, C is the Category name, E is the contestant's name, and points are the number of nominations to upload for a given contestant
  1. Add in all of your vote information that needs to be uploaded
  2. Save your CSV file
  3. Click Upload Votes
  4. Click Upload
  5. Browse to your upload file
  6. Click Open
  7. Click Next
Note:
  • Any uploaded contestant that doesn't match an existing contestant name will be treated like a write-in nomination if write-in nominations are enabled within the Nomination Form. If write-in nominations are not enabled, the upload will error
  • If the uploaded file contains any group or category names that don't exist, the upload will error
  1. Click Close.
