(Special Issue for County Clerks and Selected City and Township Clerks)

The Bureau of Elections is pleased to announce the release of QVF software version 2.47.

E-Wizard-related changes: Several enhancements to the E-Wizard module have been included in this software release.  The additional functionality listed below will make it easier for QVF users to navigate through and make entries into the E-Wizard.

Candidate, Office and Proposal Detail - On the Candidates screen, the Parties combo box now only includes the choices "Republican" and "Democratic" if the candidate is running in a partisan primary.

Re-ordering of candidates - The E-Wizard now automatically sorts candidate names properly in both partisan and non-partisan races.  Users are no longer required to identify candidate position on ballot.

Disqualified status - It is now possible to assign a candidate the status of "disqualified".  On the Candidate screen, click on the "Disqualified" checkbox located below the Main Candidate section.

Other Candidate screen changes - A warning message now displays if the user attempts to click on the "Is Complete" flag for an office when no candidates have been entered.  Once a user clicks on the "Is Complete" flag for an office and saves the changes, the system will display the corresponding office or proposal in read-only mode. Once an office is "Completed" only state users will be able to create, delete or edit candidate details for the corresponding office.

Other changes:  The Political Parties Lookup module now includes columns that indicate ballot order and a notation identifying parties that are included on a partisan primary ballot.
