Improve Ballot Processing Efficiency by 95%

A typical elections office worker can process about 50 ballot envelopes per hour. With the ballot processing solution from Kodak Alaris, a single operator can process about 1,000 ballots per hour. This is a 95% increase in ballot processing efficiency! Our solution adds speed, accuracy, and security:

Automated Mail-in Ballot Processing

Before a vote is counted, the ballot has to be verified. Mail-in ballots have become prominent in the U.S. in recent years, producing an overwhelming amount of envelopes that must be processed over a short period of time. Speed and accuracy are critical. Our solution enables election agencies to automate ballot verification, which significantly improves processing time and reduces human resource requirements.

How Our Mail-in Ballot Processing Solution Works

  1. Ballots received via mail are fed into a Kodak S3000, S3000 Max, or i4000 Series Scanner, which scans both sides of each ballot envelope and imprints a date & time stamp with sequence information.
  2. The Vote By Mail software automatically captures the signature on the envelope and compares it to the record in the Voter Registration Database. A comparison score is generated.
  3. Based on the comparison score, the signature is either validated or flagged for further manual validation.
  4. Validated signature and ballot information is automatically exported to the Election Management Software.

It’s important to note that this solution does not open the envelope or record a vote into the voter registration system.
