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

Recommended change:
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."

Rationale:
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.
