Summary
The TTV Suite’s Ballot Design Studio (BDS) is the third EDM service, to be deployed and accessed as a Web-based application, also illustrated in Figure 1. The Ballot Design Studio is an AIGA Ballot Design Guidelines Standard tool for jurisdictional elections officials to create ballot definitions that are used by the various components of the TTV Voting System (described later). Ballot style definition data from the TTV EMS is used as the starting point for the design of each ballot style.
The BDS automatically creates drafts of printable ballot images for each style, using existing national ballot design guidelines, and applying constraints or requirements as specified by state election codes. Election officials can then perform modifications of the draft ballot images (e.g., changing the default order of contests). In adding to com-pleting all of the individual ballot style designs, election officials use the BDS to apply global modification (e.g., jurisdiction-specific instructions, in order to finalize the ballot definitions.)
Electronic visual ballot representations are derived from the paper ballot images. Electronic audio ballot representations must be provided for each unit of the electronic visual representation.
When the ballot design process is complete, election officials pull from the BDS the various data that will be used by the TTV Voting System, including printable ballot images, ballot meta-data used by ballot counting devices (e.g., contest/candidate/ target- mark-zone relations), and electronic ballot representation (image and audio) and meta-data to be used by electronic balloting devices.
