Secure Your Election Ballots
Hart InterCivic is a premier supplier of government products and services throughout the country, and now the proof is in our paper -- Official Ballot Paper.
With Hart's proprietary Official Ballot Paper, you get the assurance that ballots cannot be duplicated. Ballots printed on this special security paper offer increased security for your elections.
The true watermark in Hart's Official Ballot Paper is legible from both the front and the back. This watermark is produced during the paper manufacturing process, not merely printed on the paper. The image of a true watermark cannot be copied or scanned to duplicate the same effect. This inability to be copied or scanned provides a high level of security against ballot counterfeiting.
The watermarked Official Ballot Paper is available exclusively from Hart InterCivic. This paper was developed for optimum security and performance for users of Hart's Ballot Now paper ballot system and eScan digital, ballot-imaging precinct scanner. Extensive testing has been done to ensure the paper's compatibility with the Hart Voting System equipment as well as the printers and scanners that Hart recommends. The Official Ballot watermark is readable in any orientation, making it easy for your staff to identify, whether at the polling place or the central elections office.
In addition, the paper's toner adhesion feature (a mill treatment that allows optimum binding of toner and paper fibers) improves its digital printing, mailing, and scanning performance. This capability allows jurisdictions to print their own ballots, or have them printed by a third-party vendor. Scanning is made easier as well, the printing on the ballot will not lose its sharpness due to repeated folding or other rough handling.
Official Ballot Paper can exclusively be purchased from Hart. This ballot paper is available for sale to our Ballot Now and eScan customers, or to certified printers contracting with those customers.
