When voting is finished, what do you want the ballot to do
Your options include:
Landing page only, so just viewing that initial landing page
or, show full ballot with voting disabled
still show the groups, categories, and nominees, but there is no option to vote.
Once you've configured all settings to your liking, click "Save and Publish."
Your ballot is now live and ready for engagement.
