Name :   David Beirne, et al. Organization :   N/A Post Date :   9/27/2005 Glossary Comments Glossary Term :   Valid Vote Definition :   Comment :   In our review of the drafted Glossary for Voting Systems, I have prepared a listing of specific terms which need clarification. Below is a listing of these terms which require adjustments and/or clarification in their definitions prior to their adoption by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and United States Election Assistance Commission: Valid Vote: phrasing should be adjusted to reflect “in a contest that was not overvoted or undervoted.” Undervotes may conform to jurisdictional criteria and are considered a true reflection of voter intent.
