Re: Increase the Candidate Label field in GEMS

Jeff,
 
    The limitation of 20 characters is driven by the width of the AccuVote-OS and AccuVote-TS printers and the space we allocation for candidate names on reports. If we increase the length of the candidate name field then we will have to change the AccuVote-OS memory card to support the longer names and either wrap or truncate the candidate names in the reports.  This would require some major work to be done.

Requested on behalf of Johnson County, KS.  They will actually have some Candidate names that are more than 20 characters, and the full name has to be on the Report.  Can we increase the Candidate Label field to 40 or 50 characters.
 
Thanks,
