Comment : | In response to your request for comments on the draft glossary of voting system terminology, I offer the following. In each case, I am quoting your original and then offering an alternative definition. Ballot Form: Abstract definition of what appears on the ballot in a particular political subdivision, precinct or portion of a precinct in a particular election and the formatting thereof. -- Strike this! Ballot Configuration or Ballot Format should be used. This term, as defined, only confuses things because it is insufficiently distinct from those.
