# This file gives all the messages to be sent back to the voters, from a
# simple acknowledgement to some error report.  The section headers and
# ends, such as [foo] and [end], should not be changed.  Change the
# text in between them.
#
# *** If you don't modify any of the other text, at least make sure to
# change the name and address in the first one! ***
#
# There are two special substitution codes: %body% and %headbody%.  These
# will be replaced by the body of the message received, and both the
# header and body respectively.  If you choose just body, any header lines
# that include a group name will also be printed.  Usually the body is
# sufficient.  Any characters before the code on the line will be printed
# before every line from the message, hence
# >%body%
# will start every line of the quoted message with a ">" to set it apart.

# This is added to every message sent out, for real acks or for error
# messages.  Your name and address and whatever.  Leave a blank space after
# the [signature] line for best spacing.  The '#' on the address line is
# to make sure you change the line, get rid of it.

Thank you for voting.  For a copy of the Call For Votes (CFV), reply to me,
indicating which vote you want the CFV for (I may be running several).

# This is a message sent out with an actual vote ack, where we think
# that everything went okay.  A list of votes is given after the text.
#
[vote ack]
This is an automatic message sent to you after your vote has been counted.
If this is correct, there is no need for you to reply. If your vote is
registered incorrectly then please vote again so we can fix it.

You may change your vote by voting again.  This is a public vote, and
all addresses and votes will be listed in the final voting results.
To erase your vote and eliminate your address and vote from the final
results listing, vote again and use a CANCEL in place of YES or NO.

[end]

# Message sent out for a cancel
#
[canceled]
This is an automatic message sent to you upon receiving your CANCEL
message.  This means that any previous ballot you have sent on this
vote is canceled and will neither be counted in the results or appear
in the final vote acknowledgement list.  Your previous votes are still
on record, but it is extremely rare that the raw votes are ever made
public.

If this was a mistake and you really do want to vote, you will need to
vote again.

# Message sent out for one of the "suspect" accounts.
#
[bad account]
Your vote is being returned as invalid because of your account address.
Non-personal accounts such as root@, operator@, postmaster@, guest@, etc.
are generally considered invalid for voting for reasons that are probably
too long to get into here.  Votes from anonymous servers are rejected for
obvious reasons.  Please submit your vote from a personal account.

If your name is, Jim Guest or the like, and this has confused the voting
program, please send mail to my personal address below and explain the
confusion.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

# This message is sent out when we can't find the start of ballot text
# in the vote.
#
[no ballot]
No valid ballot was found in your message. Please read the ballot
instructions in the Call For Votes (CFV) and resubmit your vote.  This
error usually occurs when you delete things the CFV asked you not to
delete.

Here's the body of the message we got from you:
>%body%
[end]


# This message gets sent out if we can't find any votes - not even an
# explicit abstain.  Probably the vote was accidental.
[no votes]
It appears that you did not vote on any item in this ballot. If this
was a mistake, please reread the section on voting procedures in the
Call For Votes (CFV) and vote again.  This error often occurs if you
misspell or do not include the full name of the group on the same line
as your vote. If you really mean to abstain, please make it explicit
by using "abstain" in place of "yes" or "no".

Here's the body of the message we got from you:
>%body%
[end]


# This message is sent out when the voter tries to vote multiple
# times for the same group, usually caused by an editing screwup.
# After your included text, a list of the offending groups will be
# given.
#
[multiple vote]

Your ballot included both yes and no votes on at least one group. This
occurs if you accidentally send multiple lines that meet the voting
criteria, usually when you forget to delete one of the two example lines.
Please resend your vote from the Call For Votes (CFV).

Here's the body of the message we got from you:
>%body%

Conflicting votes on group(s):

# This message is sent out when the voter violates one of the special
# voting rules set up for multiple issue ballots, if you have any.
# For instance, you can only vote on group foo.bar if you voted for
# group foo.  After your included text, a list of the violations will
# be given by the software.
#
[invalid case]
This ballot includes special restrictions on which groups may be voted
on, as given in the Call For Votes (CFV).  Your vote violated one of
these rules, listed below.  Please reread the CFV and vote again.

Here's the body of the message we got from you:
>%body%
[end]


# This message is sent out ONLY if the #define NEEDNAME in "usevote.h"
# is uncommented, and the person does not provide a name either in
# the "From:" field of their messages or in the provided NAMETEXT field.
# This is not normally used.
[no name]
The Call For Votes (CFV) requires that your name be given either in
the "From:" field of your messages or on the provided line in the
ballot.  Please resend your ballot and include your name.

Here's the body of the message we got from you:

# This message is sent if the voter gives a bad STV ordering - for
# example, using the same number twice or skipping number.
# After your included text, a list of the bad order will be given.
#
[bad stv]

The preference voting order given is invalid.  It can consist only of
digits.  '1' is your most preferred choice, '2' is your next preferred
choice, etc.  You may not skip any numbers or duplicate any numbers.
You may leave a choice blank (ABSTAIN) if it is unacceptable.
Please resend your vote from the Call For Votes (CFV).
