Subject: AVTS - Voter Summary Page
Background: Based on feedback from registrars, we are
battling the concept of printing a Voter Record of the voter's choices on a
piece of paper. Yes bad idea. I suppose it would lead to some multipart
printer that would provide one copy for the Registrar and one for the
voter. NONE OF US THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA...so we are battling.
Request: It would give us some ammo to have a summary of the
voter's choices displayed in summary form on the last page along with the
review and cast ballot buttons. This way the voter could review, verify
what they voted for, and then press Cast ballot on the same page (or go back
and change it). Our competitors (Hart) do this and it is a minimal step
necessary to fight this printout idea. We may or may not win this.
Apparently the Brazil system does this in some fashion and has gotten some
attention.
