infinite loop when creating election

Good morning. I've been trying to install agora following the instructions. At this moment I'm stuck with election creation. The election itself is written into the database however I can't start the it. The browser log shows that when I press the 'Create election' the api call create is invoked and it returs the following json:

{"date":"2018-05-04 10:26:56.791","payload":"ok"}

After this call it seems to enter into an infinite loop asking for election data and election stats. Seems that it's waiting for something to happen.

/elections/api/election/41

{"date":"2018-05-04 10:26:57.816","payload":{"id":41,"configuration":{"id":41,"layout":"simple","director":"aut1.aspgems.com","authorities":["aut2.aspgems.com"],"title":"New election","description":"","questions":[{"description":"","layout":"accordion","max":1,"min":1,"num_winners":1,"title":"New question 0","tally_type":"plurality-at-large","answer_total_votes_percentage":"over-total-valid-votes","answers":[{"id":0,"category":"","details":"","sort_order":0,"urls":[],"text":"Yes"}],"extra_options":{"shuffle_categories":true,"shuffle_all_options":true,"shuffle_category_list":[],"show_points":false}}],"start_date":"2015-01-27T16:00:00.001","end_date":"2015-01-27T16:00:00.001","presentation":{"share_text":[{"network":"Twitter","button_text":"","social_message":"I have just voted in election __URL__, you can too! #nvotes"},{"network":"Facebook","button_text":"","social_message":"__URL__"}],"theme":"default","urls":[],"theme_css":""},"real":false,"extra_data":"{}","virtual":false,"virtualSubelections":[],"logo_url":""},"state":"registered","startDate":"2015-01-27T16:00:00.001","endDate":"2015-01-27T16:00:00.001","real":false,"virtual":false,"logo_url":""}}

and /elections/api/election/41/stats

{"date":"2018-05-04 10:26:57.899","payload":{"totalVotes":0,"votes":0,"days":[]}}
