RCR: Selection to print "BF"
and "BB" in place of "Front" and
"Back"
text respectively on the bottom of the
ballot.
Requested: May 11,
2000
Required: July 1,
2000 - Prior to ballot generation for 9/12
election
Jurisdictions: All Minnesota
accounts
I was informed at a Minnesota user group meeting on Tuesday, May
9, that legal requirements concerning ballot layout now state that there can be
no "language" identifying and therefore differentiating the front from the back
of the ballot. GEMS currently prints the text "FRONT" and "BACK" on the
bottom of the ballot which is apparently unacceptable. They would like to
see the option to print the text "BF" in place of "FRONT" and "BB" in place of
"BACK".
