Comment : | In response to your request for comments on the draft glossary of voting system terminology, I offer the following, picking up with the letter C, having completed A and B in my previous batch of comments. As before, in each case, I am quoting the original and then offering an alternative definition. Central Counting: Counting of ballots in one or more locations selected by the election authority for the processing or counting, or both, of ballots. Central Counting: Counting of ballots in one or more centralized counting centers, after transport from the polling places. As opposed to precinct counting. -- Comment: The Illinois definition appears to be gabled and fails to reference the alternative against which central counting ought to be posed.
