Year: 2022

The BOE Ballot Tracking Application is an internally built web app maintained by Durham County IS&T and the Board of Elections. It was designed following the 2020 Presidential Election Cycle to simplify ballot inventory management at One-Stop Early Voting Sites and assist in managing back stock at the Warehouse. The application provides insight regarding ballot use statistics at One-Stop locations through the Electronic Poll Book (EPB) maintained by the State Election Information Management System (SEIMS) and local user input. This integration provides real time inventory levels of every active ballot style at each active One- Stop Site. Within the application election officers and administrators were able to: • Create an initial ballot assignment • Track ballot levels in real time across all active One-Stop Sites • Receive email alerts when ballot levels reach 25% of initial load remaining threshold • Track supplemental ballots being sent out by site and ballot style • Track ballots being recalled from a site for reassignment • Track ballot levels at the BOE Warehouse with recalls and new inventory being delivered • Enter manual audits of ballot levels at One-Stop Sites • Access previous election data
