Find Candidates Using the Look Up Tools

You can use the “Look up a candidate”, “Look up a candidate (Detailed)”, and "Find Submission" search tools to quickly find a specific candidate or submission that you know exists in the database.

Look Up a Candidate

When you use the "Look up a candidate" search tool, you can enter the first name, last name, middle name, email address, user name, or candidate identification number of the candidate you’re looking for in the Search field. You can also use the AND and OR operators along with partial names and wildcard. However, a best practice is to enter complete names to obtain better results.

Look Up a Candidate (Detailed)

If you want greater precisions in your search results, you can use the “Look up a candidate (Detailed)” search tool where you can enter a value in more than one of these fields: first name, last name, middle name, email address, and candidate identification number of the candidate you’re looking. If there’s an exact match, you’re taken directly to the candidate’s general profile.

Find Submission

This search tool is similar to the "Look up a candidate" feature except that, instead of displaying a resulting list of candidates, it displays a list of submissions.
