Comment : | 55 Comment: "Other marking not related to ballot selection on the paper record shall be in English." Recommended change: change the wording on the requirement to : "Other marking not related to ballot selection and verification status of the paper record shall be in English." Rationale: 6.8.3.4 is not worded correctly. There are other markings not related to ballot selection that should be in the voter's native language. For example, the verification page indication will be Page X of Y, where "Page" is translated. Another example is the spoiled or accepted mark, which should be in the voter's language.
