Re: Open Primary Option in Gems for AVTS

Jeff,
 I'll be in Alameda this AM.  I'd like to check on this as I could see several different ways of this happening.  Thanks for the thread on this.  We'll confirm today.

In the case of an Open Primary using the AVTS system, a poll worker gives a voter a smart card with the correct ballot style, but after the voter inserts their smart card into the AVTS system, the AVTS system will prompt the voter to select which Party they wish to vote.  Similiar to choosing the language.  This needs to be implemented into the software for the AVTS system.

Jeff, I've seen open primary with differing versions. Some where all voters vote same ballot, others like the "shadow" vote of California primary last year where they were the same ballot info, but ballots were by party.  In either case, the pollworker would hand the voter a ballot.  Wouldn't the pollworker select the ballot type?

Do we have an Open Primary Option in Gems so that we can program the AVTS unit to come up with the option of choosing the party that the voter wishes to vote???
