Role of the ballot would only be important if your opponent was reading a K, which practically no one reads and it might even be against the Code of Conduct to vote for them. So you didn't need to include it here.
Maybe shells are structured differently in policy... in LD standards would be things like Ground, Clash, Strat Skew, etc. and Voters would be Fairness and Education.
I agree that this is probably not the best shell of all time. I am not sure if I need to include a role of the ballot, but this is usually more important on Ks than on theory, but maybe that is just my experience because I am use to debating in policy where theory is globally accepted. For standards and voters I learned to mix them, i.e. my standard is Structural Fairness and the voter is that the second speaker looses half of their rebuttal speeches.
Also shells need voters. The things that you have labelled as voters are actually standards.
Shells need paradigm issues.
"we ought to live"
No. We eventually die.
2 rounds? lol and you waive the first.
