What you can do from the candidates page

3. Edit existing candidates details

5. Delete candidates

Edit a candidate

You may edit an existing candidate by clicking the edit icon as shown below.

Delete A Candidate

Deleting a candidate will remove them from the election completely. You will have a warning prompt, after which this is non reversible.

Note: A candidate cannot be deleted while an election is live, or recently closed

Exclude a candidate from your final result

Should one or more of your candidates withdraw from the election process, you may exclude this candidate from the final results.

NOTE

If you exclude a candidate from being counted during a live election, the count will automatically exclude that candidate when your election closes.

If your election has already closed, and you then need to exclude a candidate, go ahead and exclude the candidate, you will then need to initiate a recount from your results page.
