Comment :  55 I 6.8.3.4 40
"Other marking not related to
ballot selection on the paper
record shall be in English."

change the wording on the
requirement to : "Other
marking not related to ballot
selection and verification status
of the paper record shall be in
English."

6.8.3.4 is not worded correctly.
There are other markings not
related to ballot selection that
should be in the voter's native
language. For example, the
verification page indication will
be Page X of Y, where "Page"
is translated. Another example
is the spoiled or accepted
mark, which should be in the
voter's language.
