------
The last two absentee ballot requests for this voter are as follows -
1. "UOCAVA - All Elections for Calendar Year" --> Process Date: 3/3/2009; Exp date: 12/31/2010; Status: Accepted
2. "UOCAVA - All Elections for Calendar Year" --> Process Date: 2/19/2009; Exp date: 3/3/2009; Status: Accepted
The problem is - Exp date of #2 is same as Process Date of #1. According to the business rule - A voter can't have multiple over lapping requests at the same time if both of them are ACCEPTED. While updating the request, system checks for this rule and restricting user form updating (expiring) the request.
In fact, system shouldn't have allowed entering request #1 with a Process Date of 3/3/2009 in the first place. But in early 2009, Absentee Module was not as structured as today. So, to expire request #1, Modify the Process Date as well (3/4/2009 should be fine). / Camden / County Clerk
8.  / NJP-8920 / Corrected the SVRS to access Reminders successfully. / Mercer / SOE
9.  / NJP-8933 / Issue is similar to NJP-8883 / Statewide / SOE

12.  / NJP-8946 / Issue is similar to NJP-8845 / Warren / BOE
13.  / NJP-8954 / Issue is similar to NJP-8917 / Monmouth / BOE
14.  / NJP-8973 / Corrected the SVRS to show the street number on Assign Poll Worker letter / Monmouth / BOE

Enhancements:

Item / Title / Description
1. / CCR-274 Document Imaging – Part -2 Changes / Followings are the major changes/updates related to Document Imaging.
1.  Counties that don’t have SOE office, default SOE doc types has been assigned to BOE office.
2.  VBM doc types have been assigned to BOE office.
3.  For the default doc types, Retention period can’t updated to a smaller value than defined by State.
4.  ‘Rename’ functionality has been introduced in the Batch Scanning screen.
5.  Office Type has been made as the primary filter in Document Search screen. It will be pre-selected based on logged in user and Document Type dropdown will be populated based on that. Document Type selection is still mandatory.
6.  Voter Inquiry and Document Search will no longer pull Merged voters. Instead their docs will be shown as part of the “Merged Onto” voter. Additionally, Merged Voter’s ID will be shown for the records that got merged in the Duplicate Voter column.
7.  Restricted merging a voter who doesn’t have any document.
8.  If A is merged to B, and later B is merged to C, then unmerging A and B is not possible, unless unmerging B and C is done first.
9.  As a double check, disabled the Merge/Unmerge button in the comparison screens if not SOE.
2 / CCR-287 / The State is requesting updates to the County Committee Module - the users should be able to assign a voter as a County Committee (CC) to a Ward and the associated District different from the one he/she is currently residing in.
