RE: BS 4.3.8: Change "..advance to next candidate" to "...advance to next issue" for issue type races.



Indeed, this has come up before.  Problem is that no one has come up with good verbiage, and this suggestion doesn’t qualify.  YES and NO are not issues.  It is the race that is the issue, not the “candidates”.  Saying “advance to the next issue” would mean advancing to the next race.  Candidate may not be the best word, but it does at least make clear where the voter is going.

Required by:      September 15, 2002

Ballot Station:    4.3.8

 

Regardless of whether the race is a candidate type or an issue/question type, the AccuVote-TS say “You have chosen to vote for YES……….To advance to the next candidate, press 5”.  Request to have it change to “To advance to the next issue, press 5” if the race type is an issue.
