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 Instructions: Instructional text that appears at the top of the ballot. Ballot Instructions: The official instructional material presented with the ballot (sense 2) to the voter. In some contexts, this is in the form of an instructional poster in the voting booth, in some contexts, as text on the ballot label, in any form, presented to voters for expressing their selections in an election. This may be printed on the ballot (sense 1), presented in audio form, posted in the voting booth, printed on the ballot label or presented with the ballot presentation.
