VIBS undervote confirm
Posted on behalf of
Larry Dix et al. From Florida's unofficial VIBS
guidelines:
The system must communicate to the voter the fact that the voter has
failed to vote in a race or has failed to vote the number of allowable
candidates in any race and require the voter to confirm his intent to under
vote before casting the ballot.
At every candidate we tell the voter
whether the current race has no votes, is partially voted, or is fully
voted. We do not, however, currently force the voter to confirm
that they want to undervote a race.
I guess the solution here is to add a "nag
point" before leaving the race. If the user presses 4/6 on the first/last
candidate of a race (or the proposed 8/2 prev/next race keys) and the race is
not fully voted, play the following:
You have chosen to undervote this
race.
To confirm, press
[4/6/8/2]
To continue voting this race, press
9
The idea being, the user has to repeat the
action that would have them leave the race. Pressing 9 would put them back
on the candidate they were on before they left the
race.
Other solutions
welcome.
