Most of the Elections Office staff were in on Saturday, continuing the Canvass to ensure its timely completion. Part of the work was processing provisional ballots, but another part was duplicating ballots.
What the heck does “duplicating ballots” mean?
Well, sometimes the ballots may be damaged or somehow unreadable by our BallotNow scanners. If the BallotNow machine can’t process the voted ballot properly, the ballot is reviewed by our staff to first ensure that the voter’s intent can be determined.
If it can be, then the staff follows several steps to successfully complete the duplication process.
