What is an election snapshot?
An Election Snapshot is an archive your election results and voting record for review at a later date. When a snapshot is generated, it captures the election data and results at that specific date and time.

- Export: Click Export to export a results report that reflects the data in the snapshot
- Ballot Language: This page allows you to see the ballot information (positions, candidates, pictures, biographies, bylaws and propositions) and wording that was included on your ballot
- Site Text: This page will display all of the instruction blocks throughout your election site. If you changed any wording in "Edit Site Instructions" those changes will be saved here.
- Configuration: This page displays the settings that were selected at the time of the snapshot
- Delete: Click Delete if you want to remove the snapshot from your "My Elections" page. Once deleted, you will not be able to retrieve the data from the snapshot.
