== Create a new election

* Login
* Go to the [.title-ref]#Admin# panel via the menu at the top
* Click on [.title-ref]#Create a new election#.
* Complete the form:
+
Election name::
  A short name used in all the pages, most often since we have one
  election per release it has been of the form [.title-ref]#Fedora XX#
Name of the folder containing the pictures::
  This just links the election with the folder where the images will be
  uploaded on disk. Keep it simple, safe, something like
  [.title-ref]#fXX# will do.
Year::
  The year when the election will be happening, this will just give some
  quick sorting option
Submission start date (in UTC)::
  The date from which the people will be able to submit wallpapers for
  the election. The submission starts on the exact day at midnight UTC.
Start date (in UTC)::
  The date when the election starts (and thus the submissions end).
  There is no buffer between when the submissions end and when the votes
  start which means admins have to keep up with the submissions as they
  are done.
End date (in UTC)::
  The date when the election ends. There are no embargo on the results,
  they are available right after the election ends.
URL to claim a badge for voting::
  The URL at which someone can claim a badge. This URL is displayed on
  the voting page as well as ones people have voted. Which means that
  having the badge does not ensure people voted, at max it ensures
  people visited nuancier during a voting phase.
Number of votes an user can make::
  The number of wallpapers an user can choose/vote on. This was made as
  they was a debate in the design team if having everyone vote on all 16
  wallpapers was a good idea or not.
Number of candidate an user can upload::
  Restricts the number of wallpapers an user can submit for an election
  to prevent people from uploading tens of wallpapers in one election.

== Review an election

Admins must do that regularly during a submission phase to avoid
candidates from piling up.

* Login
* Go to the [.title-ref]#Admin# panel via the menu at the top
* Find the election of interest in the list and click on
[.title-ref]#Review#

If the images are not showing, you can generate the thumbnails using the
button [.title-ref]#(Re-)generate cache#.

On the review page, you will be able to filter the candidates by
[.title-ref]#Approved#, [.title-ref]#Pending#, [.title-ref]#Rejected# or
see them [.title-ref]#All# (default).

You can then check the images one by one, select their checkbox and then
either [.title-ref]#Approve# or [.title-ref]#Deny# all the ones you
selected.

[NOTE]
.Note
====
Rejections must be motivated in the [.title-ref]#Reason for rejection /
Comments# input field. This motivation is then sent by email to the user
explaining why a wallpaper they submitted was not accepted into the
election.

== Vote on an election

Once an election is opened, a link announcing it will be available from
the front page and in the page listing the elections
([.title-ref]#Elections# tab in the menu) a green check-mark will appear
on the [.title-ref]#Votes# column while a red forbidden sign will appear
on the [.title-ref]#Submissions# column.

You can then click on the election name which will take you on the
voting page.

There, enlarge the image by clicking on them and make your choice by
clicking on the bottom right corner of the image.

On the column on the right the total number of vote available will
appear. If you need to change remove a wallpaper from your selection,
simply click on it in the right column.

As long as you have not picked the maximum number of candidates allowed,
you can cast your vote multiple times (but not on the same candidates of
course).

== View all the candidates of an election

All the candidates of an election are only accessible once the election
is over. If you wish to see all the images uploaded, simply go to the
[.title-ref]#Elections# tab and click on the election name.

== View the results of an election

The results of an election are accessible immediately after the end of
it. To see them, simply click the [.title-ref]#Results# tab in the menu.

There you can click on the name of the election to see the wallpaper
ordered by their number of votes or on [.title-ref]#stats# to view some
stats about the election (such as the number of participants, the number
of voters, votes or the evolution of the votes over time).

== Miscellaneous

Nuancier uses a gluster volume shared between the two hosts (in prod and
in stg) where are stored the images, making sure they are available to
both frontends. This may make things a little trickier sometime, be
aware of it.
