Reminder to tag the line with the legal signature when the voter takes up two lines. This is a default spec, but many of you are overlooking this.
Printed name is not required so long as signature is legible. If the name is not printed and cannot be recognized from the signature, tag the signature as -n0 and move on. If only a first initial is provided, it also -n0. Assume a printed name in the signature field is a signature.
Signatures on each section can only belong to one city, which is usually written at the top or bottom of each page. If not, you can often find the city on one of the signature lines. If the page is blank and there is no city at the bottom, select any city at all (Boston, e.g.) and save as is. Don't flag a scan due to missing city at the bottom if the page is blank or if you can determine the city from one of the signature lines.
Sometimes, a town or neighborhood will be written instead of the proper city. Download the following PDF to get the proper city names by searching the nickname. Ctrl-f lets you find a word or part of a word within Adobe Acrobat. The official city is the all caps, middle value in each line.
