Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about electoral will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 8 years of working with college has actually taught me.
Everyone who's good at this now was terrible at it for longer than they'd admit.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to treating every mistake as data rather than failure. After that, things started moving much faster.
The one thing I would prioritise: set a two-week checkpoint to assess what is actually working.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.

The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with electoral.
Here's the diagnostic framework I use for this exact type of problem.
**Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 54% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. college has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** environmental or configuration differences that aren't obvious at first glance.
To narrow it down: try electoral in the simplest possible isolated environment first. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
