How can I get support for setting up the widget?
The partner widget typically takes 15-30 minutes to add to a site, and most of the folks who do this aren't developers. We try to make it as straightforward as possible with this documentation. Unfortunately, Team BallotReady is not able to provide design or technical support for your unique site.
We encourage you to work with any technical folks on your team to implement this widget and utilize free resources for Squarespace, Wix, and more with a quick Google search.
If you notice an issue with the widget after using these resources, please submit a ticket to our Helpdesk - a member of our team will review your request within 48 hours.
