To have non-conflicting Seq. 1 ballots added to Vote Centre

["Greg Forsythe" <gfglobal@earthlink.net>]

GEMS

To have non-conflicting Seq1. cards added to Vote Centre without the sequence number changing.

Description:

Ward 1 is in the city and has 9 AVs in 9 Vote Centres accepting two Seq. 1 ballots.

Wards 2, 3 and 4 are country wards and counting ballots manually.

Some of the country voters will be in the city on election day and would like to vote.

The main voting centre in the city, Clearview, would like their Accu-Vote to accept all ballots.

When the Report Precincts from the country are added to Clearview, GEMS includes them as various Seq. #s ballots.

Two choices -

Set up another Advance Poll/Absentee AV in Clearview to accept all ballots when really only one AV is required or

print the various sequence numbers for acceptance in the Clearview Accu-Vote.

 

Database in GEMS-1-18-4 attached.
