Bin Sorting
There are two options on the Bin Sorting screen: Sort Settings and Scan Screen Sort
Options.
Sort Settings
The Sort Settings option allows you to specify which output bin the ballots will be
diverted to. It also allows you to specify whether undervotes, overvotes, crossovers,
blank ballots, and ballots with unclear marks are to be processed.
Note:
ElectionWare provides the ability to set bin sorting in the Election Definition.
If you want to use settings that are different from the ones in the Election Definition, you can
use the bin sorting screens to change the settings on the scanner.
If the Sorting on/off feature is enabled, you can override the default settings for bin sorting in
the Election Definition, as well as any changes that have been made using the Bin Sorting
screens, by turning sorting off from the Scan Ballots screens. When the Sorting on/off feature
is enabled, there is a button on the scan ballots screens that allows the user to turn sorting on
or off. The middle bin is not able to be changed and will always follow the ElectionWare
defaults
Reference:

ES&S ElectionWare Volume IV: Deliver User’s Guide

information on ElectionWare.
for instructions on how to enable and disable the Sorting on/
off feature.
See
for information on the impacts of turning sorting off.
Write-In
A write-in space appears on the ballot as a voting target next to a
blank line that a voter uses to fill in the name of a write-in
candidate. To vote for a write-in candidate, a voter writes the name
of the candidate on the write-in line and marks the ballot target
that corresponds to the line.
Overvote
Ballots having more than the allowed number of votes cast for one
or more contests
Undervote
The election definition can designate one or more contests as an
“undervote-contest”. This option out-stacks any scanned ballot
that has a designated undervote contest that was undervoted. This
option does not out-stack blank ballots
Blank Ballots
This option out-stacks ballots that do not contain any votes, have
been marked with a non-standard marking device for the DS850, or
have been marked improperly (for example, the voter circled the
candidate’s name instead of filling in the appropriate oval).
