Dear Warren County Board of Elections,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:

I am requesting the following information from WARREN County for the PRIMARY ELECTION of June 6, 2023:

Please provide all information via electronic communication. If necessary, I am happy to provide portable storage (such as USB stick) for copying any files that cannot be sent electronically. Since this request is for educational purposes only, and is not intended for commercial use, I am requesting all fees be waived.

I am requesting the CAST VOTE RECORD: a text, comma, or tab delimited file, or a text-based report, listing, in the sequence processed by the county, every ballot, its sequential ID, its timestamp, its method of voting (i.e., in-person, mail-in, provisional, absentee, "other", etc. – any ballots that were tabulated as part of the 2023 Primary Election), the specific votes contained for all races, and the batch ID and tabulator ID. Should any fields not be available, please include the fields which are. To be clear, I am NOT requesting a summary report of votes, I am requesting a per-ballot report. This set of information is sometimes known as a "Cast Vote Record" (CVR), "ballot log", or a "summary of ballots". If the data exists as multiple files or reports, for instance by batch or by precinct, you do not need to aggregate them, please send the individual files. I specifically do NOT want any information that identifies a specific voter, and I guarantee and stipulate that this information will not be used for that purpose. A report of this type would have been created automatically during the tabulation process and will simply need to be EXPORTED from the Election Management System. Please send this report as a .csv file.

Please provide all information via electronic communication. If necessary, I am happy to provide portable storage (such as USB stick) for copying any files that cannot be sent electronically. Since this request is for educational purposes only, and is not intended for commercial use, I am requesting all fees be waived.

Many thanks,

Patricia Stanley,

Warren County Board of Elections will need until December 15, 2023 to complete this request.

At this time everyone (4 staff and myself) are preparing for the November 7th General Election which includes Processing Mail-in Ballots, training poll workers, updating the voter rolls with additions, changes (name and or address, party affiliation) deletions and many other tasks. With the limited staff and time to prepare for the General Election, your OPRA request cannot be started until the General Election is certified.
