To make the ballot available:

• New ballots are Unpublished by default. Edit the node to publish.
• New ballots are Open by default (but that won't matter if the node is unpublished - users won't be able to access it)

Closing voting:

• Ballots don't automatically close. To stop voting, visit the Form settings sub-tab on the node's Webform tab and close the ballot.
