Title: Reviewing EML against needs for UOCAVA

Leave this with me to add to the Wiki.  I’ll set up a new page of examples and use this as the first one.

Peter,

Looks good as far as I can tell with quick inspect.

Longer term this points to us needing to post more EML examples like this - something we can use the Wiki to socialize - use cases and samples.

Thanks, DW

Hi All

 

Is anyone in a position to help Peter please?   If we don’t have an answer is this something to fix in v7?

 

John

I have been reviewing the previous IEEE work (not done yet, but still hope to be done tomorrow as promised).  I know the 330 voter list has elements to allow specification of the ballot forms a voter is entitled to.  BUT – not all Voter Registration systems know the ballot forms; some only know the polling station grouping a voter is associated with.

As a consequence, I am looking for a message that supports the need to communicate the ballot forms that go with a given polling station grouping.  Can anyone give me a nudge?

- Peter
