Improve Quality Control Process & Printout Formatting

[JohnMwashuma]

Context

During the previous election, several forms were mistakenly archived instead of being sent for audit after failing Quarantine checks. The primary causes of this issue were:

• Small font size for the "Next Steps" recommendation on the QC printout, making it difficult to read.
• Incorrect Arabic translations for key instructions on the printout.
• Lack of clear visual distinction between forms that should go to Audit vs. Archive.

To resolve these issues, adjustments to the QC process and QC printout formatting are required.
