Ballot Rubric Text appears above the candidates or motions on each ballot page. The text should contain instructions explaining how to vote for the selected post or motion. You can set the text per device type (Website, Polling Station, and StudentLink app) to accommodate the differences in the ballot windows.
You must check and update your Ballot Rubric Text so it's easy for your members to understand how to participate in your elections and referenda.
