You can choose between two modes for the promo period: "Vote once only" or "Vote once per day," and you can set how many entries a single account can vote for.
Special note: if your promo has the "Sign-up Form" turned on and allows voting once per day, voters can skip the form on the first day they vote, but they'll need to complete the form before they can vote on the second day!
How to display multiple voting groups or set up voting by entry on the front end
(Not a required setting — for reference only)
Many voting contests need to split entries into different groups, so you'll need a page that holds a voting entry point for each group — or you may want each entry to have its own separate voting entry point. Here's how:
1. In the Zines dashboard, click "Create Page"
2. Insert a text block to set up the content for each section and option.
Click the gear icon on the right
, then choose a layout based on your number of groups or entries — for example, with five groups you could add one 3-column layout and one 2-column layout
3. Click into the text block to set up the group or entry content
