Tab, I
hope these answers help you. If not, please give me a
call.
No, in Texas they track their ballots by putting serial numbers on
them (Texas Election Code 52.062). They have something that is called a
ballot-register that they must keep, so they know where their ballots went
and how many.
2. If we
were to implement the 'automatic' incrementing of serial numbers, how about
ballots that do not print correctly? Can we just ignore this problem and have
'missing' serial numbers.
NO.. we would have to have a way to reprint the ballot with the
correct serial number.
3. What kind of audit logging to they want, if
any?
No
audit log needed....
4. Is printing the serial number
next to the ballot/precinct label at the bottom of the ballot acceptable, or are
they going to want to place the serial number somewhere in the header of
the ballot? Implementing this would be a lot of work.
I understand. The counties
would accept whereever we decide to place the serial number. Printing the serial
number next to the ballot/precinct label would be acceptable. According to
Ian, the font size would have to be the same. So long as it is visible, I
think where it would be the easiest to implement would be
acceptable. .
5. When
does this have to be implemented by?
The sooner
the better. I know this will take some time. I just need to let the
customer (Bexar County and Travis County) know we can do it, and will be
able to deliverif they choose us as a vendor. I can tell El Paso county
that we are working on it.
Thanks.
Rodney
