Using the Dashboard
Platform cards
Platform-management cards appear only for the technical superuser or a current Platform Administrator. They provide access to associations, authorised users, platform appointments and the election-officer register.
Association cards
Association cards depend on active organisation membership or platform authority. Owners and Administrators receive governance links for their association. Other organisation roles see only the functions permitted to that role.
Election assignments
Election cards show cycles for which the user has a current appointment or permitted read-only grace access. Actions vary by role, election status and appointment dates. A missing action usually means the role, appointment, election state or prerequisite does not permit it.
Election status
Common statuses are Draft, Nominations open, Ready, Voting open, Voting closed, Awaiting result approval, Results published, Cancelled and Invalidated. The election detail page also displays readiness issues, register status, final-list publication, appointments and current tally actions.
Help and Docs
Use Docs for this page on administrator and election-operation pages. This opens the relevant role-aware operational manual under /help/docs/. Use Help for this page on voter-facing ballot and receipt pages; public voter guidance remains under /help/. Documentation explains the permitted process but does not itself grant permission to perform an action.
