<p>This lets you create and run elections in seconds right from your phone. Here's how:</p>
<h2>Step 1: Open up <a href="https://siv.org/admin">https://siv.org/admin</a> on your phone</h2>
<p>It doesn’t matter if you’re logged in or not.</p>
<img src="/images/2025/10/admin-page.jpeg" alt="admin page" class="rounded-lg shadow-lg" style="width: 50%; max-width: 400px;">

<h2>Step 4: (re)Name &#x26; click "Add"</h2>
<p>You might want to rename the app label “Secure Internet Voting” to something shorter, or else it will get cut off. We use <strong>Vote</strong>, as the icon already says SIV.</p>

<h2>...And it's all done! 🎉</h2>
