The results module provides summary data on each office in each municipality and can be filtered and sorted to best access the results you are looking for. The I, A and E columns represent I = Incumbent A = Acclaimed E = Elected Each office record displays the leading candidate by name and then includes summary details: - Lead: ##

- a larger number indicates a stronger lead
- in our example Michael has 778 more votes then the next candidate
- Lead %
- this represents the % of votes that the candidate is leading by
- a larger number indicates a stronger lead

- Poll %

If an office supports multiple positions then there will be multiple candidates listed to reflect the number of available positions.

Limiting Candidates in Results GraphThe number of candidates that are displayed is limited by a system preference setting. If you prefer to always show all candidates - then set this value to a high number like 99. On the dashboard look forImage Added then you can view/edit: Image Added
This setting defaults to allowing 4 trailing candidates for the office. So for a mayoral office with only 1 position available it would show at most 5 candidates (1 + 4). For a board office with 3 available positions it would show the top 7 candidates (3 + 4). Image Added
