Labels for In-Office Absentee, Pickups and Early Voting

 

What Are They?

Individual labels printed from a DYMO LabelWriter or other label printer at the time the voter receives an in-office or pickup ballot or they early vote. Also prints when an FWAB ballot is processed. Typically used to affix to materials associated with these voting methods.

You can set up the system to print multiple labels per voter. You can also suppress printing of labels for any of the three voting methods. For example, if you don't want a label for early voting, you can turn them off. The number of labels and suppression of labels are controlled by settings in VOTER FOCUS ADMIN > System Options > Vote-By-Mail > Vote-By-Mail Label Options.
