The Straight party voting for the AVTS unit works as follows:
There are tow methods of processing straight party votes. 1) is the "default" method and 2) is the "PAStraight Party" option (explicit).
1) works as follows:
When you select a party in a straight party race it first clears all votes in endorsed races and then selects those candidates that match the party. If the result if a fully voted race then all the other candidates are disabled. You can then go and deselect the voted candidate and select another.
2) works the same except that if you have already voted for any candidate in an endorsed race the straight party vote is not applied to that race.

> Nel: Isn't this normal for a straight party race, and reflects what is done on an OS unit. You can vote straight party and any opposing (other party) candidates in a particular race. does it then count as the accuvote does - all straight party votes are counted unless there is a different selection in a particular race?

As a result, it is possible to select alternate candidates without disabling the initial straight party choice, but once the alternate candidate is selected in a race, all voting areas in the race are disabled (provided the number of candidates selected is equal to the number to vote for).
