  • Patent number: 11450167
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system includes a printing apparatus and a processor. The printing apparatus is configured for printing a ballot and an envelope associated with the ballot and a voter. The processor is configured to access a request file defining voter data from a voter registration database and generate a set of print instructions including ballot print instructions for a ballot and envelope print instructions for an envelope. Both of the ballot print instructions and the envelope print instructions are generated using the request file, and the set of print instructions includes instructions for printing a first machine-readable identifier for the envelope. The processor is further configured to transmit an instruction to the printing apparatus to print the ballot and the envelope using at least a portion of the voter data defined by the request file, the envelope including the first machine-readable identifier corresponding to the voter.

  • Publication number: 20210327190
    Abstract: A system for election document processing is disclosed. Image data representative of a scanned election document is matched with a template for processing and consideration of a new elections record. The template defines areas of interest and rules for processing the image data. Data associated with picture elements defining the areas of interest is applied to predetermined validation functions to validate whether the image data includes sufficient information for populating predefined fields and accepting the scanned election document. Additional functions are applied to the image data to compare the image data with information of a voter registration database in order to verify a voter associated with the election document. The scanned election document is further processed for validation sampling.
