Abstract:
1. A system for use in packaging ballots in envelopes, comprising: data storage including voter-specific address information associated with a ballot type identifier; a ballot printing subsystem configured to access instances of the voter-specific address information to print a plurality of ballots where individual ballots are selected as a ballot type associated with the voter-specific address information and printed to contain first indicia identifying the ballot type; a scanner configured to read the first indicia from the individual ballots to produce a scanned ballot identifier signal; ballot insertion equipment configured to place the ballot in a corresponding envelope; an envelope printing subsystem configured to print the envelope with the voter address information, second indicia representative of the scanned identifier signal, and third indicia representing the ballot type identifier that is associated with the voter address information; and a scanning subsystem configured to compare the second indicia against the third indicia to assure that the ballot type is correct for the voter address information.
