John,
Fresno does this, but I believe they do a "pollstar" method,
where candidates are listed on a seperate sheet of paper, and the ballot is
printed with something like "candidate #1", "candidate #2", etc. The sheet
of paper is printed with candidate #1 = John McLaurin, Candidate #2 = Robert
Pickett, etc. I think Tari might have this ballot.

Subject: ballot shell question
Folks,
A
prospect runs school elections in a very large Florida County to the tune of
some 25,000 ballots a year and averages two school elections a week across
their county.
What
experience, if any, do we have at printing a ballot shell with a single
column, single row of ovals (say up to 12) and a blank header area. The idea is for the county to then
print candidate names and school name in the appropriate area onto the shell
customized to each election using in house MS Word and a connected
printer. I would also assume it
would be a single database shell, replicated and used over and over with the county
replacing names and headers for each election. Maybe we could provide candidate 1,
candidate 2, candidate 3 in the database and they could change the names for
each election.
As I
read this now, I’m certain it’s not real
clear.
But if
you have got the gist of this please advise if this is
doable.
John
