Make Default/Default Election

The default election is the election that is used by the Counter program for processing in-office absentee and early voting ballots and, for users who have not been granted the permission ChangeElectionFocus, the election in focus. It applies system-wide. Typically, the nearest upcoming election or the election that most users in the elections office are currently working on is selected as the default election.

Click Make Default to set the election in focus as the default election.

If the election in focus is the default election, this button is labeled Default Election and is disabled.
