What is the Purpose of the Voter Code in Backstage?

Table of contents

The Voter Code is a unique identifier assigned to each voter. It plays a key role in ensuring smooth access to the voting platform and provides valuable support in case of technical issues.

Why is the Voter Code Useful?

  • It serves as a secure login identifier for the voter.
  • If a voter loses access (forgotten password, lost phone, technical problem, etc.), the organizer can quickly provide the Voter Code to help them reconnect.
  • It guarantees uniqueness and helps avoid confusion between voters with similar names.

How to Manage Voter Code Visibility

In Backstage, you can choose whether organizers can see the Voter Codes:

  • Enabled: The organizer can view the Voter Code for each voter in their profile. This is very useful for support during voting sessions.
  • Disabled: Voter Codes are hidden from the Backstage interface for higher confidentiality.

Best Practices

  • Keep the Voter Code enabled if you expect technical support needs (especially for important or large-scale elections).
  • Communicate clearly to voters that they should keep their Voter Code safe.
  • Use the Voter Code as a recovery method when voters encounter authentication issues.

Tip: Even with the Voter Code visible, the actual vote remains protected by the chosen authentication method (single, double, or triple factor).

The Voter Code is a simple but powerful tool that improves the voter experience and gives organizers better control in case of problems.
