Amended QVF Absent Voter Module Instructions for the Presidential Primary

Instructions for Using the QVF Absent Voter Module to Issue Ballots for the January 15, 2008 Presidential Primary: A new feature, designed to document the issuance of absent voter ballots for the January 15, 2008 Presidential Primary, is now available within the QVF Absent Voter (AV) module. The new feature works as described below:

Select the January 15, 2008 election date from the drop-down list of elections. Once the January 15th date is selected, the software will prompt the user to select a ballot type.
Click on Democratic, Republican or Non-Presidential. This same prompt will appear each time the user clicks on ?Send Ballot." If a ballot type is selected when the ballot is sent it will not be necessary to select a ballot type again when the ballot is received. However, if the software was not used to track the issuance of the ballot, this same prompt will appear each time the user clicks on ?Receive Ballot."

Note: The Lockout feature should not be used in conjunction with the Presidential Primary. To ensure that your election is administered properly, please set Lockout to "NONE". Clerks should manually track ballot issuance to ensure that ballots are not over-issued for this election.

Questions related to this new feature should be directed to the QVF Help Desk at 1-800-310-5697.
