How to Add A Write-In Field

To allow a write-in line to be added for a position, navigate to BALLOT > POSITIONS. Select the Edit action button for the position desired on the position table.

Make sure 'Enable Write-Ins' is enabled, then enter the amount of write-in entries you want to be allowed on the ballot. If left blank, and if your Selection Limit is 1, you will have 1 write-in entry.

If no positions exist, select the “add” button, as pictured below.
