If the voter still does not make his/her selection after the second reading, the machine will
automatically enter “No Vote (Abstain)” and read the following to the voter, “We have
assumed you are abstaining in this contest and entered “No Vote” for you. You may
change this vote when we review you selections after all of the contests.”
