Layout of the Precinct Register Export File

A digital file of a county's precinct register can be delivered to a commercial printing house for printing.

This topic can be printed and given to the commercial printer as a specification of the export file.

The Voter Focus Precinct Register Export file is a tab-delimited text file. The first line is a tab-delimited header row. This makes the file mostly self documenting.

Note: To view a sample register, see Precinct Register Examples.
