| Comment : | SPOILED BALLOTS:
Suppose the voter feeds in an invalid ballot (such as an "overvote").
Then I want it to be a requirement that the voting machine IMMEDIATELY
notify the voter his ballot is invalid & rejected - and permit that
voter to try again.
It should be absolutely unacceptable for a voting machine to simply
silently accept an invalid ballot without notifying the voter there is any
problem - and indeed it should not be possible to adjust the machine to
make it be so silent - but these guidelines simply permit this practice without even a disparaging comment!
This is the year 2005. Unintended spoiled ballots simply should not
exist. | |
