Modules/Elections

The elections module is designed to handle both general poll requirements, and election of commitees. By default, all elections are handled as secret ballot. This can be disabled on a per-election basis.

An Election is a member of an "election group". Typically, these would be used to group together things "Election of 2020-2021 committee" and similar, however, there is no requirement for this. Each election in the group can have its own timetable, and its own results dates.

Every election goes through 4 distinct phases:

• Preparation
• Nominations
• Elections
• Results
