Subject: RE: Open Primary Option in Gems
for AVTS
In
the case of an Open Primary using the AVTS system, a poll worker gives a
voter a smart card with the correct ballot style, but after the
voter inserts their smart card into the AVTS system, the AVTS system will
prompt the voter to select which Party they wish to vote. Similiar to
choosing the language. This needs to be implemented into the software
for the AVTS system.
Jeff, I've seen open primary with differing versions. Some
where all voters vote same ballot, others like the "shadow" vote of
California primary last year where they were the same ballot info, but
ballots were by party. In either case, the pollworker would hand the
voter a ballot. Wouldn't the pollworker select the ballot
type?

Do we have an
Open Primary Option in Gems so that we can program the AVTS unit to come
up with the option of choosing the party that the voter wishes to
vote???
