making write-in choices
To vote for a write-in candidate on the ballot (if applicable):
1.
On the page for that contest, the voter selects
To enter a write in, touch
here
.
2.
The voter types the name of the desired write-in, using the touchscreen or
Verity Access, and then selects
Accept
.
3.
The
voter’s
write-in choice will appear with a green box with check mark to its
left, along with the write-in candidate name that the voter typed.
NOTE:
If a voter attempts to deselect a marked write-in choice, they will be asked to confirm
before proceeding.
printing blank ballots
If the voter has marked no choices and selects the Print button, Verity Touch Writer
will ask the voter to confirm before printing the blank ballot.
substitutions in <n of m> contests
In a contest with more than one valid choice (e.g. ‘vote for one, two or three’): If
the voter has already selected the allowed number of choices, and then selects an
additional choice, Touch Writer will indicate which previous choice is being
changed, and which new selection is being added.
voting session idle timeout
If the ‘idle session’ setting has been
activated by election officials, then a warning
will appear after 5 minutes of inactivity; if the voter does not respond to the
warning within 45 seconds, the Touch Writer will display the “Session Locked”
screen. When the session is locked, a poll worker may either spoil the ballot, or
unlock the session and allow the voter to continue voting.
