How to Set a Maximum Number of Candidacies

You can access this feature from your MSL website. Only Content Editors with access to Elections Admin can access the Elections Admin window.


Once you have added all the relevant Posts to the Election, using Post Groups, you can restrict the number of related posts a candidate can nominate themselves for. For example, you may want to create a Full-Time Officers Post Group, with Max Candidacies set to 1, limiting candidates to nominate themselves for one full-time position.
For further information, see How to Add a New Post Group.
