RE: BallotStation 4-3-4 Election Mode ballot retention in Pre-Election Testing Mode



Given the problem with the Spyrus, Montgomery County, Maryland, is currently planning to use a TS unit for making voter cards, rather than the Spyrus.  The other Counties want to to know how to do the conversion at the poll, as a back-up if all the Spyrus go down.
   
Could someone please write procedures for using the TS unit as an encoder - setting it up in advance, and converting at the polls, with illustrations?  (Maryland is 4.1.6)  If these procedures are posted, we can all use them.  This will give us all a solution that is uniform and "blessed" by our own experts.  The comfort level of the customers is increased when "official procedures" are provided, and this keeps us from duplicating effort.
 
Thanks!
Sue

Tab,
If you clear the results on the TS unit, then are you going to implement the request that Tari asked for: allowing a pollworker to make voter cards on a unit (in case the Spyrus or PCC runs out of battery or doesn't work).  We need a backup method to make cards in the precinct.  Exiting election mode to access the "CREATE CARD" function is important, but NOT if you lose the ballots on the unit.  Comments?

No, this is not the intended behavior.  When reseting the election to pre-election mode the results are ment to be "cleared".

An election is reset to Pre-Election Testing Mode from Post-Election Mode.  Ballots counted in Election Mode are displayed in Pre-Election Testing Mode View Ballots window.  Is this intended behavior?
