At times, there may be changes in your organization's voting needs or the time frame for a vote where you need to formally close your vote early or pause or suspend voting. ElectionBuddy allows you to quickly and easily close a vote before its scheduled end date and time by manually closing your vote.

Closing a Vote From the Dashboard

  • Go to your Dashboard

  • Select the box next to the vote you want to close early

  • From the Actions menu, select "Close"

  • A message asking for confirmation will appear, select "OK" to close the vote

Closing a Vote From the Results Page

  • Go to your Results Page of the vote you want to close early

  • From the Actions dropdown menu, select "Close Now"

  • A message asking for confirmation will appear, select "OK" to close the vote

If you are looking to simply extend your vote end date and time, please see Changing or Extending Dates and Times

To re-open a vote, please see Re-Opening a Closed Vote.
