Account Registration & Verification
1. Signing Up
- Navigate to the Sign Up page.
- Select "Official Entity" as the account type.
- Fill in your official entity name, email address, and a secure password. The email address must use your official domain (e.g., @gov.in, @your-organization.org). Public domains like @gmail.com are not permitted for entity accounts.
- Complete the optional fields for phone number and address to help with verification.
2. Verification Process
- After submitting the registration form, your account will be placed in a "Pending Verification" state.
- Our administrators will review your submission. This may involve cross-referencing public records to ensure authenticity.
- You will be unable to log in until your account is approved. Once approved, you will receive a notification and can access your entity dashboard.
Responding to Petitions
Viewing Petitions Addressed to You
- Once logged in, go to your profile dashboard by clicking your name in the header.
- You will see a tab labeled Petitions for You. This tab lists all active petitions on the platform that have named your entity as a target.
Printing Official Reports
- Navigate to the page of a petition that targets your entity.
- On the petition page, you will see a button labeled Print Report.
- Clicking this button generates a detailed, printable document containing the petition's details, all signatory information (including their last known IP and location for verification), and a verification stamp from PUBLIC.VOTE.
- This report can be used for official records and to demonstrate the public support for the petition.
