How voter credits work
Credits pay for invitation emails. Confirming the list, reminders, and results broadcasts do not spend them.
What a credit buys
Think of a credit as permission to send one person’s first ballot invitation for an election. When Open voting (or a later add-voter invite) successfully sends that magic-link email, a credit is used. Uploading a CSV, saving a draft, or selecting Confirm voters does not spend credits by itself.
Send reminder and results broadcast emails are free of credits. That is why Usage reminds you that credits cover first ballot emails while reminders and results stay free.
How many you get
Free includes 500 credits per month. Pro includes 2,000 per month, or 24,000 per year if you pay annually. Scale uses larger monthly pools you choose when you subscribe. Enterprise allowances come from your contract.
Check Usage before a large send
Open Usage to see remaining credits and when the allowance renews. Before you invite a large roll, confirm the balance covers everyone you plan to email. Top up or upgrade from Usage or Billing if you need more headroom.
