Maryland - Anne Arundel County Board of Elections
Program Title
Mail-in Ballot Sorting, Scanning, and Timestamping Project
Program Summary
This submission pertains to a project initiated by the Anne Arundel County Board of Elections where we took the lead developing a software solution between the MDVOTERS voter registration system and Tritek Technologies mail sorting equipment. Working between the 2022 Primary Election and General Election, we were able to develop a software solution that allowed our LBE to use our mail machine to upload ballot receipt into MDVOTERS. We were the only LBE in Maryland to achieve this success. This allowed us to save 500 hours of labor checking-in ballots between the Primary Election and General Election, while allowing us to notify the voters via text or email that their ballot has been received by the Board of Elections.
