Shadow
The results of one race may be reported simultaneously for distinct districts or voter groups when defined as Shadow race. A race is defined with Type Shadow with district, voter group and all other parameters of a candidacy, with as many Shadowed races as necessary to satisfy reporting requirements. Upon setting the race type to Shadowed, the race enables the selection of a controlling Shadow race.
For example, a closed primary election is held for the offices for the President of the United States, Democrat State Senator and Republican State Senator. All voters vote on the race for President, Democrat voters on the race for Democrat State Senator and Republican voters vote for Republican State Senator. The jurisdiction requires election results reported for the race for President both for the entire jurisdiction and for the individual parties.
The Democrat and Republican parties are defined with ballot separation in the Voter Group Editor. The races for President of the United States is defined three times; first, as a Shadow race for voter group , secondly, as Shadowed for voter group Democrat and thirdly, as Shadowed for voter group Republican. Shadowed races are linked to the Presidential Shadow race. Races for Democrat and Republican State Senator are defined for the corresponding voter groups.
Election results reports will include three instances of the race for President. The first reports results for all voters, the second reports results for Democrat voters only and the third reports results for Republican voters.
In another example, the city of Harrison is holding an election for Mayor in the precincts of Jackson and Lincoln, which correspond to Ward 1 and 2, respectively. All voters vote on the race for Mayor, yet the jurisdiction wants results reported by ward in addition for all of Harrison.
In GEMS, district category City is defined, within City district Harrison and within Harrison Ward 1 and Ward 2. Polling report precincts Jackson and Lincoln are defined and linked to Ward 1 and Ward 2, respectively. The race for Mayor is defined as Shadow race, and the same race is defined twice again, once as Shadowed for Ward 1 and secondly, as Shadowed for Ward 2. Both Shadowed races are linked to the Mayoral Shadow race.
Election results will list the race for Mayor three times on election results reports; the first instance reports results for all of Harrison, the second for Ward 1 only and the third for Ward 2 only.
The Shadowed race type is only present in the race list if at least one Shadow race has been defined. The Shadowed race does not allow any definition of ballot text or revision to the number to vote for under the Race tab, does allow voter group selection under the Options tab, and disables the Candidates tab.
