Sample Ballot

Ballot Description

The sample ballot contains a number of noteworthy regions.

The number of contests and candidates (or questions and answers) is defined in ElectionSpec.xml

The upper-left hand green square will have a serial number printed in it in a 2D barcode format. In the data, this number is reflected in the ballot element as a barcodeSerial attribute.

The bottom-left corner contains three red boxes. In these boxes will be printed a serial number for the chit (or receipt) and two passwords. These are also denoted in the ballot element as attributes: chitSerial, password1, and password2 respectively.

The red and blue rounded rectangles will contain confirmation codes. These are denoted inside a symbol element, which itself is nested inside a question and ballot element. A symbol is given an identifier (id attribute) and the actual value of the code (code attribute).
