Definition :  
Comment :  In response to your request for comments on the draft glossary of voting system terminology, I offer the following. In each case, I am quoting your original and then offering an alternative definition.

Ballot Configuration: Combination of contests, ballot measures, or both that is unique to a particular political subdivision, precinct or portion of precinct in a particular election.  

Ballot Configuration: The particular set of contests to appear on the ballot for a particular election district, their order, the list of ballot positions for each contest, and the binding of candidate names to ballot positions.
