Installing voter application

Voter application is distributed as a up to 3 MB disk image file with the extension .dmg.

During i-voting, go to the elections web page opening page , click the button “Laadi alla” (“Download”) and save the voter application in your computer. If the web browser is at default setting, the application is saved in the catalogue “Downloads”.

First, you have to start the voter application. For that, you have to open Finder, choose the setting “Valimised” (”Elections”) from the left pane and open the application.

 

Using a proxy

Voter application uses macOS system parameters to identify proxy settings. If the proxy uses a password, contact KeyChain to obtain it. If the environment variable https_proxy is set in the working environment of the voter application, the proxy settings are read from there.
