How to Change an Election's Organisation

You can access this feature from your MSL website. Only Content Editors with access to Elections Admin and with permission to edit elections at the MSL Membership System root Organisation (Group ID: 0) can change an election’s organisation.


Before you proceed, the selected organisation must be higher up in the grouping tree than all of the Election’s post groups.


Changing the election’s organisation may alter visibility and eligibility.


For further information, see Elections Admin.
