Getting Started

1. Install a crypto wallet. Metamask is recommended. If you already have a wallet, you can skip this step.
2. Enter your wallet address in https://faucet.avax.network/ to get free ETH (test funds) to pay for transaction fees.
3. Click "Add Account" in the Elections Canada app and paste your account's private key.
   • Your private key is not stored securely in the Elections app - while testing it out, please use a seperate account that has no real funds attached to it.
   • In Metamask, you can get your private key by following these steps:
     1. Click the three dots in the top right of Metamask
     2. Click on "Account Details"
     3. Click on "Export Private Key"
4. You're good to go! Create elections, run for office, and vote - with the next generation of secure, decentralized technology.
