What you need to add an election

To add elections, you need an individual record and a policy record. The individual needs to be associated to the policy. Once associated, you can add election data to the individual policy, such as member ID, and specify who is covered under the election.

If you’re using individual relationships, you can specify who is covered under the election. This can help you track dependents, such as spouse and children.

How to add an election

Go to an individual policy.

Only individual policies have an “Election” section on the Policy Detail page.

Add election details and notes.

If you want to change the field options that you can choose from in the “Election” dropdown menu, go to Profile > Settings > Data & Custom Fields > Election (Policy).

Specify who is covered by the election.

The individual policyholder appears in this box by default. If the policyholder has relationships with other individuals, those individuals will appear in this box as well.

Save changes.

How to delete election data

Go to the individual policy, remove all of the data in the Election section, and save the changes.
