One of the easiest ways to set up a new ballot is to clone an old ballot. In this article, we'll walk you through the simple steps to clone an existing ballot within your Best of platform.
Log into your Best of account
On the Ballot Management page that loads when you first log in, click on the "Clone Ballot" button, usually located in the top-right corner.
Choose the ballot you wish to clone from the list of available ballots.
Naming the New Ballot:
Determine the name for the new ballot, typically denoting the current year or any relevant identifier.
Options for Cloning:
Decide whether to include ads from the original ballot or import pre-populated choices.
Set the voting style, such as allowing write-ins, and set voting frequency (e.g., once per day).
Finalizing the Cloning Process:
Review your selections
Click on the "Convert" button to initiate the cloning process.
Allow the system a moment to process and clone the ballot.
Once the cloning process is complete, and the system confirms the successful cloning, click on the "Close" button to exit the cloning interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully cloned a ballot. You can now proceed with further customization or launching the new ballot.
