Supply List

The specifications and supply lists below define all the materials to run an election in addition to the machines and smart cards.

Ballots

Ballots must be printed according to the following ballot specifications:

• Width: 8.5"

• Length: 11", 14", 17", 19", 22"

• Weight: 105-177gsm

• Coating: uncoated

• Opacity: >90%

• Color: white or any pastel color >70 brightness (to ensure it binarizes to white when scanned)

If printing ballots, in addition to the paper specifications above, be sure to do the following:

• print at 100% scale (don’t adjust)

• ensure that all ballots print properly with completely black timing marks (boxes bordering the ballot) and QR codes with no visual imperfections

Marking Utensils

The marking utensil for hand marked ballots should be a black or blue ink pen that dries quickly. Never use markers or highlighters.

USB Drives

VotingWorks recommends the 64GB SanDisk Ultra Flair USB 3.0 drive (SDCZ73-064G-G46) as a cost-effective general purpose USB drive, but any USB drive meeting the specifications below can be used.

Attribute	Requirement
Protocol	3.0 minimum
Capacity	64GB minimum
Length	55mm maximum, measured from inserted tip
Read Speed	60 Mbps minimum

A faster drive may be necessary when exporting large volumes of ballots from VxCentralScan, for which the 128GB SanDisk Extreme PRO USB 3.2 drive (SDCZ880-128G-G46) is recommended.

Seals

Cases should be secured with tamper evident numbered seals, such as heavy-duty pull-tight seals. You may use different seals as preferred by your jurisdiction and may choose to use different types of seals, or even locks, if you confirm they fit through the seal points and properly secure the seal point.

Scanner Cleaning Supplies

The scanners for VxScan, VxCentralScan, and VxMark can be cleaned with scanner-specific cleaning fluid, such as Ricoh Cleaner F1 (PA03950-0352) or isopropyl alcohol with a concentration of 70% or higher. The fluid should be applied to a microfiber or lint-free cloth.
