Applying promo votes administratively allows you to apply promotional votes independent of the vote promotion module and entry promotion module.
For example: This can be used for participants that missed out on your promotion period, but you still want to honor the promotion for them. Or, you ran a vote promotion outside of the platform (during a live event, for example).
NOTE: Adding promo votes administratively does not add to your amount raised displayed on your Homepage, as promo votes never add to this total. This differs from adding offline donations, which do add to your amount raised.
