# Mark Results as Official

{% hint style="info" %}
The following steps must be completed by an election manager.
{% endhint %}

When you are ready to certify election results, you can mark VxAdmin results as official to print official reports.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure that you've imported all CVR files, completed all adjudication, and added all manual tallies before proceeding.
{% endhint %}

To mark results as official, select *`Reports`* from the side menu and select *`Mark Election Results as Official`.*

If you become aware of a mistake after marking results as official (say, you forgot to import one machine's CVRs), you can revert the results to unofficial as a system administrator. Log in as a system administrator and use the *`Revert Election Results to Unofficial`* button.

Log out and log back in as an election manager to make the necessary edits and be sure to remark the results as official once done.
