RE: AVTS 4.0.11 Vote for Two race - under voted



If you are suggesting adding the micro to the voting screen I disagree.  Keep the voting screen as uncluttered as possible. 
When the voter has voted for the number of candidates he is allowed the remaining vote targets of unvoted candidates are eliminated.  If anything, use a blurb in the instructions such as ", any race unvoted or not fully voted will have have empty voting targets beside eligible candidates." 
I like the idea of using the micro in the summary screen.  But I agree that this should be optional.
(OK, make it optional in the voting screen too.)

I thought Ken was considering the "number voted / the number to vote for"   1/2  4/6   0/3   2/2   1/1  0/1  in the Summary race header. 
Make it a macro for the race header  @vote or something.  All unvoted races would display 0/x (x being the number to vote for).  As the candidates are voted the macro increments the number voted.

I disagree with this Tab.  How about some other opinions.  I think this completely takes away the power of the highlighting on the summary screen!

Larry,
 
    The design was to only highlight non-voted races but I agree that we should highlight under-voted races.  This will be done for the next release of the Ballot Station.

I am trying to determine the intent of the summary screen identifying a non voted versus an under voted race.

 

The summary screen will highlight a race in red when I fail to vote a race, indicating that I did not vote or under voted a race.  When I have an option to vote for 2 and I only vote for one, the summary screen does not indicate that I under voted, it summarizes the one vote I selected.  It does not highlight it in red.

 

Was the intent to only show non voted races, or was it to indicate under voted races?   If it was to show under voted races, I will submit this as a bug.
