RE: 194 French abo over- and blank vote reporting

["Ken Clark" <ken@dieboldes.com>]

No problem.  I would actually prefer if all reports worked like this, but we have done it the other way for so long that its a hard convention to change.

 

Note that if they do this, their blank and overs are not going to match those on the SOVC.  We can't change the SOVC without penalizing everyone else, and we can't make it a SOVC option until 1.19.

 

What is the realistic due date for this change along with the previous re-wording request?

Subject: 194 French abo over- and blank vote reporting

Dynabec would like the number of overvotes as well as the number of blank votes reported on the long 194fr.abo report file to be multiplied by the number to vote for.  For example, if the number to vote for is 3, the number of overvotes is 3 and the number of blank votes is 5, the report should show overvotes as 9 and blank votes as 15.

 

This is for the upcoming Montreal election, but will be universally employed in Quebec afterwards.
