How to Bulk Approve Candidates

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


If you don’t need to check and approve each candidate’s nomination, select the Bypass Approval checkbox on the Edit Post window when you create each post.


Contact support@ukmsl.com if you are running an election with a substantial number of posts, and you require the candidates to be approved in bulk for all posts, for example, an Academic Representation election.


For further information, see Election Candidates.
