Default Election Period with orange flag indicator.

The default election period is assigned to imported transactions when one is not specified at the time of import. To change the default election period, click the edit pencil next to the period that you want to be flagged as default, click the Default button, then Save, and now the orange default flag will display next to that period. New election periods can also be marked default at time of creation.
