 1. When I deploy, I create an account for the election, as the mysql root user:
    mysql -u root -p
    Password: <MYSQLROOTPW>
-   mysql> CREATE USER 'someusername' identified by 'somepassword';
-   mysql> CREATE DATABASE somedbname;
-   mysql> quit
+
+   Then Run these commands at the mysql> prompt:
+     CREATE USER 'someusername' identified by 'somepassword';
+     CREATE DATABASE somedbname;
+
+   Then, exit, and at the main command line run:
    msyql -u root -p -D somedbname < ..../vote/include/schema.sql
+
+   Then run this again:
    mysql -u root -p
    Password: <MYSQLROOTPW>
-   mysql> GRANT SELECT on somedb.elections TO someuser@localhost;
+
+   and at the mysql command line, run these grant commands:
+
+   GRANT SELECT on somedb.elections TO someuser@localhost;
+   GRANT SELECT on somedb.election_choices TO someuser@localhost;
+
+
+2. Create an election, with something like this:
+   mysql -u root -D somedb -p
+
+      SET NAMES 'utf8';
+      INSERT t INTO elections (type, name, voting_start, voting_end, choices_nb,   question) VALUES ("elections", "2011 Spring Election", "2011-05-29 00:00:00", "2011-06-12 23:59:59", "7", "Which candidates would you like to see Elected?");
+set @el_id = @@IDENTITY;
+INSERT INTO election_choices (election_id, choice)
+    VALUES
+    (@el_id, 'Candidate 1'),
+    (@el_id, 'Candidate 2'),
+    (@el_id, 'Candidate 3'),
+    (@el_id, 'Candidate 4');
+select @el_id;
+
+That number you see at the end is your election id.  The URL you'll give out
+is thus something like:
+
+  http://example.org/vote?election_id=THAT_NUMBER
