Mike,

  I believe that the "feature" that you are talking about is the GEMS "1.95 auto absentee" which requires either AV 1.95e or the Beta 1.94y.  As per the release notes:
 

• Support the new GEMS-1.16->Setup->AccuVote Options->Tally Settings->Auto Absentee checkbox which allows the Accu-Vote to determine whether a ballot should be counted as polling or absentee based on its ballot identification marks.  This requires either that polling and absentee ballots have unique card numbers, in which case the absentee ballots can be counted at any time without the use of header cards, or that the new Counter Group Header cards be used to resolve conflicts.

  In VTS you select an absentee count mode which is downloaded to the AV.  GEMS automagically downloads an abs count mode according to the count group and vote center category setup.  Thus Nel's response explains the Ajax situation.

This is not valid for 1.94w.  With 1.94w they may have set up their memory
card to have absentee precincts.  The proper procedure for using a card like
that is to process your election day ballots first, then insert an absentee
count card and process your absentee ballots, and then insert an ender card
to end the election and print the totals.  This was a method of separating
election day ballots from absentee ballots on the reports.

How is this done in VTS or GEMS, I don't know.  Maybe a flag somewhere on
the download console.

Guy, Minnesota has this feature for switching between precinct, and
absentee.  Is there a setting in the AV that tells it to switch between vote
centers, or is this feature only for the 1.95 ROMS.  And no I don't have an
AV in front of me.
