Comment :  2.4.2 d

Prevent a voter from casting more than one ballot in the same election.

Comment:

I-2.4.2.d : Many factors come into play when  preventing voter fraud. The system alone cannot prevent the voter from voting more than once in an election. The election office and the poll officials must also have procedures in place.  

Recommended Change:

It is recommended the requirement be removed from section 2.4.2 and moved to the Volume 1 Appendix C - Best Practices for Election Officials.
