Comment :  [Volume 1, Appendix C]
1.- Paragraph with “no practical means …” should be rewritten.

Volume 1, Appendix C Best Practices for Election Officials; Pg 3; under Best Practices, the fourth point reads:
“Appropriate procedures are needed to ensure that the absentee balloting enable the voter to preserve privacy. There is no practical means to prevent a voter from revealing an absentee paper ballot to others. But the procedure should ensure that if a voter chooses to maintain privacy, it is not violated at a later stage, in particular when the ballot is received by voting officials”.
