San Juan, Puerto Rico would like to give multiple oval positions for each candidate. See sample below. The idea would be to lay out the ballot with 9 oval positions for each candidate, along with a box around those oval positions. However, when they go to have the actual ballots printed by a printer, the printer will remove the 8 ovals surrounding the 1 oval in the middle, so the other 8 ovals will be invisible to the voter. But if the voter makes a mark within the boxed area, where all 9 ovals are actually positioned, then the candidate will recieve one vote. They are currently seeing alot of blank votes, since the voters are simply making a check or X, somewhere close to the oval, but not completely and not completely filling in the oval, as the instructions indicate.
Thanks,
