What does a ballot look like?
The ballot is a single sheet of paper (link to ballot.pdf). Note that only the choices made by the voter are shown; a single sheet of paper can accommodate an election containing a large number of contests and questions, including the names of write-in candidates. It is important to remember that the printed ballot is the summary of the choices that the voter entered via a voting station. It is the voting stations that will present the full menu of potential choices and will do so through various user interfaces. This sample shows how the Open Voting system ballot handles contests in which the voter selects a single candidate, no choice (i.e. the “Treasurer” contest and the “Health care initiative” question), contests in which the voter chooses multiple candidates (i.e. the “Cat Catcher” contest), contests in which the voter chooses a panel of candidates (i.e. the “President/Vice President” contest), and multiple candidates with ranking (i.e. the “County Commissioner” contest.)
