Dear Middlesex 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:
This request is for information from the General Election held on NOVEMBER 3, 2020.

I am requesting 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 (for example: in-person, mail-in, provisional, absentee, "other", etc. – any ballots that were tabulated as part of the 2020 General 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.

Respectfully,

Mary Lou Powner
