Standard Election Features
|
|
|
|
You can upload candidate pictures and other information (such as bio's or statements). The system will
list the candidates under the position they are running for. |
|
The system will maintain an information section for each of the "issues" in your election (such as constitution
changes). You can upload HTML files or image files, or you can simply type the information into a form. |
|
Dynamic results publication: the system will calculate and display the results of your elections, and include a list
of winning candidates on the main page. You can choose to always display this information (which will be
updated in real time) or you can publish it yourself at a specific time. |

|
Optional Feature: Online Debate Forum
|
|
|
|
A fully-automated discussion forum for each of your candidates and issues. |
|
You can choose to moderate the list (approve or disapprove postings) or you can choose to
have postings published immediatly to the web. |
|
Posting and responding to messages can be controlled in powerful ways: you can limit posting exclusively
to voters, control the number of times a voter can comment on an issue, prevent candidates from
commenting on other candidates who are running for the same position, and more. |
