Please provide an update to the firmware
enhancements required to provide the tabulation requirements regarding absentee
ballots for the Minnesota customers.
We have previously described the ability to
allow the customer to insert regular, absentee, federal absentee and fed/state
absentee ballots at any time during the day. Regular absentee ballots are
a clone of the election day ballots. Both election day and regular
absentee ballots would be precinct ID'd. The federal and fed/state ballots
would be countywide.
At close the AV should provide the total voted
by each of the four ballot types. Anoka County presently recaps the totals
manually. The other customers, formally BRC users, are used to the system
providing this level of functionality automatically.
Global agreed to provide this feature earlier
last year.
The date for testing would be no later than MAY
as ballots will be generated in July for the September primary.
Thanks,
Barry
