- Ballots are
returned with a blank ballot return message if the preference race is not
marked. Isn't the preference race
optional?
Do you mean blank ballot or blank
race? How are the other races voted? If the ballot really
is blank, then is should be rejected as blank. I'll try to reproduce
this.
Okay, it looks like you mean blank
race. Guy, please take a look at this. Preference and
straight party races are not rejected as blank even if reject blank races is
selected.
One last follow up on
this. It appears as though the preference races are
not optional. Only blank straight party and recall races
are accepted even when rejecting blank races. I don't know if that is
"right" or "wrong", but its how it has always
behaved.
