How to Use the Voting Widget for Non-Voting Purposes

Despite its name, the Voting Widget isn’t just for voting. You can turn off both the Vote Count and the Vote button to disable voting and use the widget to simply display promotion entries.

To turn off the vote count:

1. Visit your Campaign in the Campaign Builder.
   
   
2. Add the Voting Widget to your Campaign, or edit an existing Voting Widget.
   
   
3. Select the Options menu in the left-hand column.  
   
   
4. Check the Hide Vote Count box.
   
   
5. Click Save & Exit.

To turn off the vote button:

1. Visit your Campaign in the Campaign Builder.
   
   
2. Add the Voting Widget to your Campaign, or edit an existing Voting Widget.
   
   
3. Check the Disable Voting box.
   
   
4. Click Save & Exit.

Here are some other for the Voting Widget with voting disabled:

• To display entries received during the entry period, but before the official voting period has begun (see the Best Practices document).
  
  
• To show entries from past contests.
  
  
• To show the winner of a multiple-round voting contest.
