Upload Votes

During the Voting phase of the Ballot Contest, the moderator may need to bulk Upload Votes. There are a number of reasons for this, including the use and reconciliation of paper ballots or utilizing a third-party text-to-vote system

To bulk Upload Votes, follow the instructions below:

  1. Click View Sample CSV within the menu next to the Upload Votes call to action to download a sample CSV file
  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 votes 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 vote if write-in votes are enabled within Contest Settings. If write-in votes 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
