I'm having trouble with election #153008, a test election for a real one I'd like to start today. Whether I type in voters to add or upload a text file with one e-mail address per line, the election isn't processing them.
Strange behavior:
- if I "download list of voters" I can see all of the e-mail addresses I've added, even listed twice (I re-added the same as a test) - if I "remind" one of the voters from that list (on there twice in fact!), the election says that voter is not included in the election - neither of my two voter test e-mail accounts have received an invitation to vote, though I did "start" the election and see the status update that invitations were sent.
I'd appreciate any help or tips anyone could offer - I'm on a bit of a time crunch with this, actually...I need to get ~60 people to vote before Wednesday. : ) Thank you,

PS: If the OpaVote webmaster is on here, you might want to add a link to the OpaVote home page to the icon at the top...at the moment there's no way to return to the front page from most other pages.

The problem is caused by the ampersands (%) in your description. As a quick fix, create a new election and don't use ampersands in the description. I'll fix OpaVote so that this won't be a problem in the future.
best, Jeff
