RE: Primary Election - 2 Cards per voter - Political & Non-Partisan - Blank Card created



I don't believe Tari's suggestion will solve your problem (if it does send me a DB example).  As far as auto layout is concerned, there really is a blank card.  Even if it does "work", you should never set up your own "NP" voter group, as the provided NP group has special properties.  As you point out the turnout will be wrong, but there will also be other subtle problems.
 
I am working on a solution.  We used to just never output blank cards -- I am not sure when or why that changed.  Another possibility is to change auto layout to ignore next card directives if the current card is completely blank.  Either way it will take a new release.

Yes that will work, however, the voter turnout will be incorrect.

in Ca - we unchecked the NP default as a separate ballot and added Non Partisan as a voter group - it produced a separate non partisan ballot - you may try that...

Subject: Primary Election - 2 Cards per voter - Political & Non-Partisan - Blank Card created

I am working on a Primary & General election for Shelby County, TN and each voter will receive a Political ballot along with a Non-Partisan – (General) ballot.  I have 3 Voter groups defined, the N.P. default voter group, a Democratic voter group, and a Republican voter group, all specified as separate ballots.  The only way I am able to get the Non-Partisan to actually be completely separate is to create a Header and specify Next Card.  This works fine, however, it creates a blank Non-Partisan card; which in turn creates problems with Pre Election Reports – Base Precincts with Cards, and other reports with the Parties being printed.  I really should only have 3 cards per Reporting Precinct, but I have 4, with that blank card.  Is there a way to get rid of this blank card, or am I setting it up wrong???
