This is a feature
not a bug. Similarly:
- If you manually add
a header to the first card of a two-card ballot, where the first card is
shared by another two card ballot, the header will also appear on the first
card of the other ballot.
- If you manually add
a header to any rotation of a card style, it will appear on every card of the
card style.
In short, ballot
styles, card styles, and (internal) plate styles (aka sides) are consistently
determined by their unique set of races, not their headers.
A couple of things
to note:
- The @precinct macro
will only work on the side that the precinct id is printed on (usually
the front) when using plates.
- As an exception to
the "unique set of races" rule, you can force headers to create different
plates if they are affiliated with a party. You use the "use voter
groups" header option for that. This handles the case where all races on
the front are nonpartisan, but people want a party specific header in a closed
primary.

An election is created with four ballot
styles, two sharing one common front and the other two sharing another common
front. Manually adding a header to the front of one of the ballot styles
causes the header to appear in the same position on the front of the other
ballot style with the same front.
