The Vote-By-Mail System and Its Benefits

Vote-by-mail technology has made it easier for elections to run smoothly. Ballots are often contained in a return envelope with a barcode. This barcode identifies the corresponding voter and includes a space for their signature and the date. Voting stations need to verify the information in ballots before votes are counted. With an influx of ballot envelopes to count, a fast and efficient system is necessary to save time counting them manually. Some benefits of a mail-in voting system include:

  • Reduced human error
  • Improved processing times
  • Customizable sorting systems
  • Assistance with approval and curing
  • Processing of all ballot envelope volumes
  • Improved security and compliance
  • Acceptance of incoming vote-by-mail ballots
  • Scan and image any information on the envelope
  • Signature imaging and tracking
  • Automated inbound ballot sorting
  • Audit trails that date and time-stamp each verification
  • Minimized need for manual labor and counting, reducing costs

The Importance of Having a Trusted Ballot Sorter

Human error can occur when counting ballot envelopes, so a reliable ballot sorter is important. The sorting process is simplified with the right equipment. When voters drop their ballot envelopes at different drop-off points, they are fed through a sorting machine at the election office. A standard high-speed machine has a multifunctional job. It must:

  1. Scan each ballot’s barcode, OCR the information, and capture a picture of the entire envelope.
  2. Confirm the corresponding voter’s precinct and information.
  3. Pass the envelopes into bins.

The manual steps involve human interaction to ensure the information inside the envelopes is complete.
