Which Intern developed this form
 

Which intern developed this form?  No one that deals with these forms everyday would have designed it this way.  Obviously ELCT has decided to do everything on its own without working with General Registrars.  This forms creates several issues for localities:

Form:

   > The form is too large for our present filing systems.  The localities will be forced to purchase new filing systems (unfunded mandate)

   > Sending cancelation notices to other states would become extremely difficult.  You would hav to copy entire page instead of sending cut-off portion of present form.

   > As A. J. Cole mentioned it will require many additional processing hours (unfunded mandate) during our busiest season.

  > #6 should be below signature line.

Plus, ELECT is supposed to follow the law  and not do its best to get around it.
