Voting block

How and when to use the Voting block

The voting block provides information about how to vote, along with links to relevant resources.

Options

  • Layout: Horizontal or vertical layout options. Horizontal provides voting information on the top row and links on the bottom row. Vertical puts those two sections side by side.

  • Banner options: This block has a small banner in the top left corner, that can be turned on and off. You can also edit the text and turn the star motif turned on and off.

  • Button: a button below the rest of the content can be turned on and off, generally used as a "view more" link.

  • Add, remove, and rearrange "voting steps" items. You can have a maximum of 3 voting steps here. If you don't want any voting steps, use our Resources block which is similar to the links section of the Voting block.

  • Change out icons for the Voting Steps on their drag-blocks on the sidebar. Or select the "use numbers for steps" instead.

  • Add, remove, and rearrange "resources" items, which are basically just fancy looking links. Good for links to voting resources like looking up a polling place or checking registration.

  • Change color for the background, bar background, and icon background.


Best Practices

  • The vertical layout may work better in situations where the horizontal layout looks unbalanced. This includes when you want a lot of text on the Voting Steps area; there's an irregular amount of text between the different Voting Steps; or if you want to use fewer than three Voting Steps.
