Votes Log
Learn how to monitor, validate, score, and export votes in NorrCompetition.
The Votes Log provides a comprehensive audit trail of every vote cast across all contests. Administrators can analyze voter fingerprints, verify IPs, adjust validity statuses, review fraud risk scores, and export vote datasets.
To access the log, navigate to Components > NorrCompetition > Votes or click the Votes icon on the NorrCompetition Control Panel dashboard.
The main Votes Log view displays all recorded voting transactions:
