ElectionBuddy allows you to provide voters with helpful information, such as why the vote is being held, meeting details, or when results will be released. Ballot information and instructions appear at the top of the ballot, making it easy to share general guidelines that apply to all questions.
You can add one or more formatting options to your text throughout your vote setup wherever you see a formatting option ribbon. You are also able to customize this section with variables.

You can enhance your ElectionBuddy setup by embedding videos directly into your ballot. To do this, use a shareable link from a supported third-party video platform.
Select the video embed icon in the editing section to add your video.
Videos must be hosted online by a third-party platform. ElectionBuddy supports embedding from popular video hosting services like YouTube and Vimeo.
Please note: When embedding videos in ElectionBuddy, please ensure they are standard YouTube or Vimeo videos. YouTube Shorts, TikTok videos, and videos hosted on Google Drive are not supported for direct embedding in candidate profiles. To include these, you’ll need to upload them to a supported platform like YouTube (standard format) or Vimeo first.
