Keeping track of your event’s timeline is very important. Knowing exactly when your event starts and ends helps you stay in control and plan your promotion better.

Sometimes, you may want to check how many days are left before voting ends. Other times, you may just want to confirm if everything was set up correctly. Whatever the reason, checking your start and end dates is very simple.

This guide will show you how to view them from your dashboard in a few quick steps.

Step 1: Open Your VoteNaija Dashboard

Visit the VoteNaija website and click the Login button at the top.

Enter your login details on the login page and once you are signed in, you will be taken to your dashboard.

Step 2: Go to Manage Events in the Menu

From the dashboard, look at the menu on the left side of your screen.

Click on Manage Events. This will bring up a full list of all the events you have created so far.

You will see both your draft events and your ongoing events in this list.

Step 3: Focus on One Event

Now take a moment to look through the event list.

Each event is displayed in a box that shows different pieces of information side by side.

You do not need to click on the event. Just focus on the one you want to check.

Step 4: Check the Event Details

Each event box includes the following details:

• Contestants
  
• Status
  
• Start Date
  
• End Date
  
• Votes
  
• Earnings
  
• Action
  

For this guide, we are only concerned with the Start Date and End Date.

These dates help you know exactly when voting begins and when it will end. The dates are clearly written and easy to spot at a glance.

Final Words

Your event’s start and end dates are not just ordinary numbers. They control when your event becomes visible to the public and when voting closes.

It is important to know that once your event is published, you cannot change the start date anymore. But you can still update the end date if you want to give your voters more time.

So make it a habit to always double check these two dates. You might need to adjust the end date based on how your event is going.

Being aware of your event’s timeline keeps you organised and helps your event run smoothly from beginning to end.
