How to
Because precinct registers are typically produced several days prior to an election, they will not be accurate on election day unless they are updated with changes affecting voter eligibility. Such changes include the return of mail ballots, early voting, challenges to voter eligibility, changes to a voter's ballot style, and residential address changes that move voters in and out of precincts. To bring precinct registers up to date, you will need to generate and print precinct register supplements.
Supplements are organized by precinct. When you print, you will have the option of selecting the precincts for which you want to print supplements. If there are no changes in a precinct, a supplement will not be printed. When precincts are combined for an election, the changes for all the member precincts are collected in a single supplement under the major precinct.
The information contained in a supplement and the format in which it is printed depend on the settings of three options in VOTER FOCUS ADMIN > System Options > Prec Reg/Elctns.

Depending on how you want to generate and print your supplements, you can turn off all three options, turn them all on, or select a combination of options. The boxes here show the possible combination of options you can use. Click in a box for more information on how those options affect supplements.
