How to Add a New Election

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


The selected Organisation must exist above the Groups being added as Posts to the Election in your MSL System's grouping tree.


The Display Period must start before the beginning of the Nominations Period and must end after the Polling Period finishes.


If using the Full (members only), Basic, or Hide visibility setting, make sure that eligible participants belong to a membership-type group within the Election's owning organisation. For example, if the Election is set up within the Activities organisation, ensure eligible participants are members of a group within that specific organisation. The system will not verify eligibility based on child groups of the Election's organisation.


For further information, see Elections Admin.
