How to Change a Candidate's Proposer(s)

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


If required, a setting can be enabled allowing candidates to search for their Proposer(s) by Person ID or Card Number only, with names hidden unless there is an exact ID match. Contact support@ukmsl.com for more information, or to enable this setting.


The Proposers must have an existing account in your MSL System.
