Candidacy: Sign-up user journeys

Candidacy: Sign-up user journeys

Depending on the configurations, there are different frontend end-user journeys when signing up in Candidacy. Thus, this page provides an overview of all these different flows based on the various combinations of configurations.

This guide looks at the combination of the following configurations:

  • Requirement of proving identity

  • Parties

  • Candidate and party registration phases

 

The following images represent the screens that an end-user can see (at one point or another of their journey):
