Voting

During the Ballot's Voting phase, the moderator can keep tabs on the voting results. They also are responsible for approving and rejecting write-in votes

Example: When the Allow Write-In Votes option is enabled within Contest Settings, approving write-in contestants becomes critical. Only approved contestants will be displayed on the front-end and be available for voting or winner selection. These will display as Pending items and have an Added by End User designation below the Contestant's name

The moderator may choose to reject an existing contestant. Once rejected, the contestant will no longer be displayed to voters

Additionally, the moderator may choose to optionally upload a group of votes. See Upload Votes for additional information
