In GEMS can we also
report that percentage of voter turnout that everyone (okaloosa) was looking
for in VTS? -----Original Message----- John,
absentee precinct results can't be reported by district in VTS but can in GEMS. In order
to report correct absentee results by district, absentee precincts must be
defined so as to coincide with the Congressional district boundaries. That
is, the base precincts that comprise each absentee precinct must coincide
one-to-one with the base precincts comprising the corresponding district.
If the absentee precincts do not follow district boundaries, absentee results
reported for a particular district will include the total results of all
absentee precincts that comprise any base precinct in the district in question,
which would give you potentially incorrect results. Remember
that the summary report allows you to report all results, polling and absentee,
on a summarized basis, so that it is not necessary to just view absentee
results with the Congressional breakdown. However, in the SOVC, including
absentee results will then necessarily mean reporting by Congressional
district, and it will not be possible to report absentee results both
Congressionally and by some other district in the same election. Nel -----

congressional district reporting Can someone explain to me
how we report congressional districts results from our county wide absentee
precinct? Is the answer applicable to
both VTS and GEMS? Thanks, John |
