# Opting Units into Online Voting: Step-by-Step Manual Process

## This comprehensive guide provides a step-by-step process for manually opting a unit into online voting through the Consents Module using Power Admin.

#### This method is specifically for cases where unit owners have signed their consent forms outside of the Consents Module. NOTE: You can either upload the completed opt-in form OR enter the signing date to quickly enable the unit for online voting.

**Step 1** - **Access the Consents Module via Participation & Approvals**: Start by navigating to the Participation & Approvals Module within your Power Admin account. You can do this by clicking on the "hand inserting a paper ballot" icon in the left-side menu options and selecting "CONSENTS."

**Step 2** - **Locate Active Consent Form**: You should now see listed the active consent forms for your membership. Identify the Opt-in Consent Form for Online/Electronic Voting.

**Step 4 - Search for Unit:** Using the "Search by Unit feature, enter the unit number you wish to opt-in for online voting. As you enter the name, it should start populating and appear.

**Step 5 -** Select the three dots icon and select "Add Consent".![](https://knowledgebase.onrapp.us/hs-fs/hubfs/unit%20breakdown%20-%20three%20dots%20icon%20-%20consents%20module-png.png?width=600&height=111&name=unit%20breakdown%20-%20three%20dots%20icon%20-%20consents%20module-png.png)

**Step 6 -** On this next screen, you have the option to select "UPLOAD DOCUMENT" which will allow you to upload the opt-in form from your computer files.

This is not mandatory, and if you wish to solely enter the opt-in date for this unit,   
move on to the next step.  
➡️

**Step 7 -** Click the "SIGNED ON DATE" button, which will present a calendar for you, please enter the date the unit owner signed their opt-in consent form for online voting.

**Step 8 -** **Final Action:** click the "ADD CONSENT" button now that it is enabled.

**Step 9 -** **Success!**: You've successfully enabled the unit for online voting. To exit this screen, simply click "Close (X)" in the top right corner.
