Ballot Count Reports

Ballot count reports contain ballot and ballot sheet counts, not contest results.

The ballot counts are broken down by ballot type - "HMPB" (for hand marked ballots), "BMD" (for machine marked ballots), and "manual" (for manually entered results, if applicable).

If there are multi-sheet ballots, the hand marked ballot counts may have sheet counts specified. The ballot count is determined by counting the first sheet of each ballot style.

When grouping is applied in a ballot count report, each group corresponds to a row in the table. In the following example, the ballot counts are grouped by both precinct and voting method:

Voting Method	"Precinct", "Absentee", or "Provisional"
Scanner ID	The serial number of the scanner. Included by default if the batch is included
Batch	The label for the batch, or "Manual Tallies" for manually entered data
