Title: Reviewing EML against needs for UOCAVA
Well, I think I worked this out so unless someone tells me this is wrong, you can all stop trying to research this one. Here is what I came up with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<EML xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:oasis:names:tc:evs:schema:eml file:\\server/410-ballots-v6-0.xsd"
xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:evs:schema:eml"
xmlns:ts="urn:oasis:names:tc:evs:schema:eml:ts"
xmlns:ds="urn:oasis:names:tc:evs:schema:eml:ds"
xmlns:al="urn:oasis:names:tc:ciq:xal:3"
xmlns:nl="urn:oasis:names:tc:ciq:xnl:3"
Id="410"
SchemaVersion="6.0">
<!-- this stuff up-front is the stuff that identifies what kind of EML message and how to handle it -->
<TransactionId> 410</TransactionId>
<SequenceNumber>1</SequenceNumber>
<NumberInSequence>1</NumberInSequence>
<SequencedElementName>whoknows</SequencedElementName>
<!-- end of up-front stuff -->
<Ballots>
<EventIdentifier IdNumber="123"/>
<Ballot>
<ReportingUnitIdentifier IdNumber="101"/> <!--This tells us the polling group the ballot form is for -->
<BallotIdentifier IdNumber="B23456Z2"/>
</Ballot>
<Ballot><ReportingUnitIdentifier IdNumber="102"/><BallotIdentifier IdNumber="B23499Y1"/></Ballot>
<!-- this example shows you can have 2 different ballots for a given polling group -->
<Ballot><ReportingUnitIdentifier IdNumber="201"/><BallotIdentifier IdNumber="B23488Z1"/></Ballot>
<Ballot><ReportingUnitIdentifier IdNumber="201"/><BallotIdentifier IdNumber="B23488Z2"/></Ballot>
<!-- this example shows you can have the same ballot for multiple different polling groups -->
<Ballot><ReportingUnitIdentifier IdNumber="202"/><BallotIdentifier IdNumber="B23499Y1"/></Ballot>
</Ballots>
</EML>

Hi All
Is anyone in a position to help Peter please? If we don’t have an answer is this something to fix in v7?

I have been reviewing the previous IEEE work (not done yet, but still hope to be done tomorrow as promised). I know the 330 voter list has elements to allow specification of the ballot forms a voter is entitled to. BUT – not all Voter Registration systems know the ballot forms; some only know the polling station grouping a voter is associated with.
As a consequence, I am looking for a message that supports the need to communicate the ballot forms that go with a given polling station grouping. Can anyone give me a nudge?
