Question – they have sent me a postscript file for there bilingual ballot
and would like to see what our layout would look like, hard copy of their
existing ballot is to follow.Who
would like to pick up on this and develop some ballots for them to look
at. Just as a point of fact- this
is a hinge pin account in Florida – meaning that we need to show off.They
also questioned if we can do English on one side and Spanish on the other?
Back
to the Shell question -Only to complicate matters – they sometimes, but
seldom, provide up to three style per school election.For
what reason I don’t know.Ballot
on Demand sounds good and may be an answer, are we comfortable with BOD
at this time?We can give them a
generic database that they can manipulate and reprint with candidate names
according to my pal Nel.

RE: ballot shell question
What
is the average number of ballots per school election??? If the number
of ballots per election is small and you were able to use Gems, why not
do it as a complete service with programming & ballot on demand???

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, replicatedand
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
