- Importance: Normal

Date Requested: February 13, 2001
Requested By: Dakota, Anoka, and Washington Co.'s in Minnesota
Date Needed: By November 1, 2001 (MN county wide School Board elections are in November)
Description:
The above named accounts and any potential new accounts from the state of MN need the ability to place additional text after candidates YES and NO if the race type is a question.
Motivation: Minnesota State Law requires that for certain questions involving a tax increase, additional language be placed after the YES/NO candidates. At present, they are creating a header that contains the required text and placing it on the ballots in the Ballot Editor by hand. The ability to add this required text after the candidate positions would do away with the possibility that they might err and cover other important ballot areas and eliminate other potential problems that can be created by dropping headers on top of other ballot artwork.
