Manage an Election

An election is organized by an election manager. A manager needs a Google account, but voters do not. The manager provides the names of the candidates and a list of voters' email addresses, and OpaVote takes care of the rest.

To understand the entire process, create a sample election with a few candidates and voters and run through the entire process (takes about five minutes).
