Export of Mail Ballot Status Data
To run: Vote By Mail > Envelope Reader Utilities > Export of Mail Ballot Status Data
This export file gives you the current status data for each mail ballot released for the selected election. It can be used by third-party mail balloting systems, to permit out sorting of returned ballots that have been referred to the Canvassing Board.
When you run the export, you will see a dialog where you can specify the delimiter of the file (tab, vertical bar, or comma), a file name, and location where the export file is to be placed.
