Election Event Designer (EED). EED application is used for the definition and management of election event. EED contains all ballot content utilized to define election projects. Each election project is represented as an instance of the election domain database with associated set of election project file. The definition of the election project can be initiated by importing the election data through the Election Data Translator (EDT) module from external systems that contain the necessary relational data to build a ballot or by defining election project entities without importing external data. It is important to note that an election project initiated through EDT can be further modified within the EED Client Application. The EED module can generate two types of paper ballots: Proofing ballots – ballots produced to allow election project stakeholders to proof ballot content and styling. These ballots cannot be processed by the ImageCast as they don’t have proper ballot barcodes. These ballots are overprinted with the text “Proofing Ballots – date/time”. Official ballots – represent production ready, press ready ballots in PDF format with barcodes and without any overprinting.
Election Event Designer (EED). Client Application is the primary application used for the definition and management of election event. EED is responsible for the definition of election projects. Each election project is represented as an instance of the election domain database with associated set of election project file based artifacts. The definition of the election project will be initiated by importing the election data from the SCORE system. It is important to note that an election project initiated by importing data can be further modified within the EED Client Application. The EED can generate two types of paper ballots: ● Proofing ballots – ballots produced to allow election project stakeholders to proof ballot content and styling. These ballots cannot be processed by the ImageCast® as they don’t have proper ballot barcodes. These ballots are overprinted with the text “Proofing Ballots – date/time” ● Official ballots – represent production ready, press ready ballots in PDF format with barcodes and without any overprinting.
