Last year there were Select ``no limit``... and Check "Allow Voters To Edit Vote" options:

Click "Save".

Select ``no limit`` under "Who can vote?" to allow users to return to their ballot from any device or network without a BetterVoting.com account.

Click "Extra Settings"

Check "Randomize Candidate Order".

Check "Allow Voters To Edit Vote".

Ensure "Show Preliminary Results" is unchecked.

Are these no longer available or needed?

No, the intent was to capture the election as it ran last year and I copied from a too-early commit. I'll compare more directly against the prior election PEP.

After attempting to stage a test election using BetterVoting with last years instructions it appears the UI and software have changed fairly substantially, including a few features that we used (as far as I can tell) being removed. I'm going to reach out to BetterVoting to see if this can be resolved ahead of this election.
