Ballot Sorter Signs and Tags
Download the sign and tag templates:
Displaying signs to help describe equipment, operations and processes is a simple way to ensure that watchers and observers, media and others can easily follow along as ballots make their way through the sorting process.
You can download these sign and tag templates and then customize them to assist visitors during tours and provide general information to the public. Use PowerPoint to adjust colors and text.
Jurisdictions that use a ballot sorter for mail ballots can display the signs to help show how ballots are sorted. The tags are smaller and fit directly on ballot sorter pockets.
