I
believe that if we put the requirement in place that the race heading on the
summary page is created from the data entered into the label field of the race
editor, it may offer a partial solution to the problem that Ken is
presenting. If you look on the
printed short report, that is were the heading for that report is
obtained. If that suffices for
the printed form, then why would it not suffice for the summary page.

the
term printing was incorrect. Sorry. I meant display on-screen. Ken has
it correct that Frank has asked to touch a piece of summary and go back to the
race if the voter wants it changed. This is presently a Sequoia function
now.
Regarding the Race Titles for the
race summary, it does sound like we are asking for a LABELSUM field in the
race editor that would be used on the last page summary screen vs. the
complete Header file which includes Vote for information.

There was an RCR
submitted by Knecht "AVTS - Voter Summary Page" regarding
printing of a summary page for the voter.
Discussion of that went offline briefly and the request is currently tabled
pending further developments. Hopefully it will die: it is a
terrible idea, deserving of letters to the editor.
As for a summary
screen, I don't think there has been a formal RCR as
of yet. I don't really understand the request myself: voters are
welcome to review their ballot, so I don't see the functionality. If you
want to submit it, please include whether this is required by law, and some
motivation for the request. On the technical side, there is the question
of where to get the race titles to put on the summary screen, and what to do
when all races do not fit on one screen. We'll need suggestions in the
RCR for those issues.
