Sorting On
The DS850 scanner diverts ballots to the following bins:
Processed (bottom bin)
All ballots that do not meet any of the sort criteria are
diverted to this bin
Processed (middle bin)
If the middle bin is configured as ‘Processed’ then the ballot
conditions that have selected for this bin will be diverted to
the middle bin and should be Processed. By default, write-ins
will be diverted to this bin. Ballots that cannot be processed
such as Invalid Ballot ID, Unreadable ballot condition cannot
be diverted to this bin.
Note:
The saved cast vote records for ballots that are diverted to the Processed bin (bottom/
middle bin) are marked for inclusion in the collection process.
Not Processed
(middle bin)
If the middle bin is configured as ‘Not Processed’ then the ballot
conditions that have selected for this bin will be diverted to the
middle bin and will not be processed. By default, ballot conditions
such as Write-ins, Overvotes, Undervotes, Blank, Unclear Marks
and Crossovers will be diverted to this bin.
Not Processed
(top bin)
By default, the ballot conditions such as Invalid Ballot ID and
Unreadable Ballot will be diverted to this bin.
