After You Create the Sample Ballot File for the Commercial Printer

Now you can send the export file to the commercial printer using the previously agreed-upon method.

After sending the file to the printer, we recommend you back it up to a CD, and then erase it from the network. Large export files can sometimes interfere with network backups, so it’s best to remove them as soon as you can. If you created a work file, be sure to remove it as well.

It should be noted that, unlike other correspondence to voters, sample ballot mailings do not appear on the Audit or Activity tabs in voter records.
