3.    The Statement of Votes shall not report the percentages for overvotes, undervotes and blank times voted. 
SOVC has the ability to turn on or off percentages, but not by field.  We could add the ability to do it by field, but I question whether this added complexity is worth the utility.  What is the reasoning behind this request?  The only real advantage I can see in turning them off is to save paper.  Is it really so bad that they get the percent overvotes? 
 
 
I should clarify this a bit.   It is possible to turn off the over, under, and blank votes in the SOVC.  Its just not possible to turn them on but not show the percentages if you also want to show percentages for the candidate votes.

The percentages for Over, Under and Blank are not printed if the percentages are of 'Votes cast' rather than 'Ballots Cast'
