Creating and Managing Ballots

To create a ballot for a new case:

1. Make a copy of the TemplateNominee folder that is in the Current Cases folder:
   1. If you're viewing the Current Cases folder, click its Edit link.
   2. Check the box to the left of TemplateNominee.
   3. Click the Copy button in the gray area below the list of files in the folder.
   4. Click the Paste button below the list of files.
   5. You should now see a folder named copy_of_TemplateNominee.
2. Check the box to the left of copy_of_TemplateNominee and then click the Rename button.
3. Change the Id to something like "DoeJane" (no spaces, and last name first, for sorting reasons). The Id is the filename of the object, which will be part of the URL. If there are spaces in it, the page that displays comments will be broken.
