Please read this chapter if you are a voter trying to use Adder.

Before You Can Vote

Before you can cast your vote, you need to have some authentication credentials. When you were registered as a voter on the Adder server, you should have been presented with a username and password. If you have not received these credentials, then you should contact the system administrator who set up the election server and ask for them.

Provided you have received your username and password, there are two ways you can cast your vote. The first is through the Adder Web interface, and the second is through the AdderGUI. If you are simply a voter, then you probably want to use the Adder Web interface. In this case, please proceed to the section called “Using the Web Interface”. If you are also functioning as an authority or an auditor in the election, then you will probably want to use the AdderGUI interface, as it provides you with several enhanced options. In this case, please proceed to the section called “Using the Graphical Frontend”.
