Glossary Term :  Abandoned Balot
Definition :  
Comment :  Ballot that the voter did not cast before leaving the polling place. For DRE or mechnical voting machines failure to case a ballot may reflect the absence of a performed finalization action in interacting with the machine. See also Fled Voter.  

Explanation: the wording of the draft is grammatically awkward; no substantial content change is proposed.
