?News You Can Use"
AutoMARK Ballot
Production Standards Issues ? At recent workshops which were
conducted by Gary Olivi, Director of Operations for AutoMARK Technical Support,
it was pointed out that certain ballot production standards should be observed
by those responsible for the production of optical scan ballots that will be
used in conjunction with the AutoMARK voter assist terminals. The
standards, which are provided below, were incorporated into the larger ?Ballot
Production Standards" document which was forwarded to all county clerks and
ballot printers on August 29th.
While ballot proofing is the
responsibility of the County Election Commission, all clerks should carefully
review their ballots to ensure that the above standards are met. In
addition, it is important that you proof all local offices and issues prior to
testing and the issuance of absent voter ballots.
Notification Update - Refresher
training on the Automark Voter Assist Terminals (VATS), Provisional Balloting
and Dual Ballot Procedures
? As we advised
on September 11, the Department of State's Bureau of Elections will begin a
series of countywide refresher training programs on October 2. These
programs are designed for local clerks, their deputies and precinct
chairs.
Since our
earlier announcement, several additional locations and dates have been added to
the schedule. A complete listing of the program dates, times and locations
is provided below. (Please note
Central Standard Time (CST) for Menominee and Dickinson counties.) An RSVP
is not required.
Program
content -
Each program will include a review of issues related to the administration of
the AutoMARK system including discussions about what we have learned and where
we go from here; Provisional ballots and the 4-Step Provisional Ballot Procedure
form; issuing and documenting dual ballots for counties that will be required to
issue two ballots (or two ballot pages) to each voter.
Attention
County Clerks! If you have made
arrangements to offer this program in your county, please forward a copy of this
notice and schedule to the clerk's within your county that do not receive e-mail
via the QVF system. Please do not hesitate to contact this office
if you have any questions.
