Jeff, We will look at removing the 10 character constraint from the candidate name but this is not high on our priority list so it will not be done until sometime next year. Also would it be possible to post some examples of long names?

Especially, since they were able to do it with their old system.

If we increase the length of the candidate name field then we will have to change the AccuVote-OS memory card to support the longer names and either wrap or truncate the candidate names in the reports. This would require some major work to be done.
